Living in university housing is a great way to support students’ academic success, and national studies show students who have a student housing experience have a better overall college experience and make more lasting connections and friendships.

Student housing is important to Northeastern's efforts to recruit and retain local, national and international students. Research shows students living in university housing:

  • form strong support networks with friends, classmates, faculty and staff;
  • are more satisfied with their college experience;
  • are more likely to be successful and graduate;
  • have opportunities to engage with peers from diverse, cultural backgrounds
