NUSL ON- AND OFF- CAMPUS HOUSING INFORMATION
As a service to prospective and current students, we are pleased to
help you explore the housing options both on-campus and in the
surrounding communities.
On-Campus
NUSL students have access to two on-campus dormitories. These
graduate student-only dormitories, located at 331 and 335 Huntington
Avenue, are conveniently located just two blocks away from the School
of Law. Self-sufficient units include studios, doubles and triples.
Interested students should contact Housing Services at
(617) 373-2814 or housing@neu.edu for rates and additional information. First-year
students sign a 9-month or 12-month contract; upper-level students sign
quarterly contracts to allow them the flexibility to pursue co-ops
outside of the metropolitan Boston area. Housing information is mailed
to admitted students in mid to late April. Unfortunately, Northeastern
does not have accommodations for married couples, those with spousal
equivalents or dependent children.
Off-Campus
To help you with your off-campus housing search, the Northeastern University Off-Campus Student Services
can be reached at (617) 373-2814. This office provides a list of
apartments available and people looking for rooms/roomates and
apartments to share. The list is updated every Monday and can be
requested through their Web page: www.offcampus.neu.edu. This service is available only to admitted and enrolled students.
Many students choose to live off campus in local neighborhoods such as the
Fenway, Jamaica Plain, the South End or Back Bay. Other students live in nearby
areas such as Allston, Arlington, Brighton, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea,
Medford and Somerville. All of these communities are within 10 miles of campus
and are accessible by public transportation.
Nonetheless, the
housing market in Boston and its surrounding areas is rather tight, so
we encourage you to start your housing search as early as you can.
Ideally, you should look at least 4-6 weeks prior to your anticipated move-in date.
Like most major
metropolitan cities, the Boston housing market is not cheap. One
bedrooms can run from $750 - $1,400 per month. Two and three bedrooms
are much more affordable, but the price can vary greatly. Be prepared
to pay a security deposit and
first and last month rents upfront. Please note if you use a realty
agency, you may be charged up to one-month's rent for a commission.
For your convenience, here are links to six information sources that might be helpful.
