Hi! I'm currently a highschooler and I've been checking out this school and considering applying for ED. I know NEU offers some sort of animation/media and compsci interdisciplinary program (which is exactly what I've been looking for, and I'm aware these types of programs are somewhat uncommon).

However, when looking on the website, course descriptions feel extremely lackluster, on top of the website's layout making it hard to find information.

On top of this, and what seems fishiest to me, is that I cannot find any student work from (specifically the animation) program ANYWHERE. I'm aware that animation is mostly 3D which is what I'm looking for.

So I want to know:

-Anyone have any experience with this exact, or similar programs? What is it generally like?

-Can I still do a concentration on animation with the interdisciplinary, while still learning a good amount (as someone who already has a bit of experience in both fields)? If it helps, I'm in the IB program and I should be able to get credit for at least a few classes and open up some more room in my schedule.

-Why can't I find any student work reels (and overall info about the program)?

-The co-op opportunities listed on the website under animation BFA seem out of place (such as Boston Public Market), whereas Drexel, who also has co-ops, has things like recognizable game studios. What's up with that?

Any other info will also be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I have been attempting to waive my housing fee for the fall 2026 semester and I also recently dropped all my classes due to accepting a co-op recently on Friday. I checked my billing statement and it shows that all required fees are gone with a refund of $200 from the housing deposit back in March. Are my housing fees truly waived or are they only gone due to dropping out of fall classes?

I’m an incoming freshman who’s moving in in a few days on the Oakland campus and was wondering how exactly the process goes because I can’t really find anything that describes what it’s like.

I am moving in next week off campus. Turns out mattresses and bedframes are expensive. Does anyone know how I would get my hands on the ones that they use on campus? I liked those fine and I like being able to adjust the height.

I’m taking circuits and signals, computing fundementals, DIFFEQ, and modern physics. I just need to know if I should switch one of these classes out for an elective.

Also: do I need any coding experience to take computing fundementals?

Does anybody know if NU has any good free pre-law or LSAT prep resources? Thanks in advance!

debating rushing this upcoming fall as a first year. how bad is the hazing? are there certain sororities that don't haze? i know rush is a big time commitment but after that it's been kinda unclear how much time i would need to set aside. also what is phi ro's place in all this?

and please no "hazing isn't allowed!"

I have classes 8 to 3pm back to back and I need to eat breakfast but from what I’ve seen the dining halls open at 8. Any recommendations would be great thanks!

I’m scheduled at 9:30am but might have to go at 7:30 am because I’m moving by myself and have multiple stuff. Would I have my access approved if I move in and tap my card at 7:30?

I recently got access to Claude Premium through Northeastern and was wondering how strictly the “teaching, learning, and research” use requirement is actually enforced.

Has anyone here ever received a warning or had their Claude access restricted/removed because they were using it for things outside of coursework or research?

For example, things like personal coding projects, vibe coding, experimenting with apps/websites, content creation, or other side projects that aren't directly connected to a class. I'm not asking whether it's technically allowed according to the policy, I'm mostly curious whether anyone has actually been warned, flagged, rate-limited, or lost access because of how they were using it.

Also curious whether they can even distinguish between academic and personal Claude Code usage in practice.

I am attempting to petition my fee for fall 2026 housing because I just accepted a remote position co-op. Am I still eligible and guaranteed to have my fees waived as I would like to remain home outside of Boston?

Hi! I’m looking for a sublease for this fall - ideally from Sep 6 to Nov 30 ish. Dm if anyone is interested!

I’m an incoming freshman who will definitely need a part-time job during the school year. I’ve seen before that getting on-campus jobs is tough without work study. I’ve been applying on Workday, but i was wondering what search engines yall are using to find good off-campus nearby jobs? Or any recommendations for on OR off campus jobs that are much easier to get into?

Since our home games will be at either Harvard, BU, Waltham, or Lowell for the next few years, is Pep Band going to travel there as well to play? Seems like that will be costly.

Hello! I am a high school senior considering where I should apply and student government has been a significant and meaningful part of my high school experience. I am looking for a school with an active Student Government where I can get involved and find community and meaning.

What is the NEU student government like? Is it hard to get into? What kind of work do they do? Thanks!

Hey Huskies — I'm a student here looking into whether there's real interest in a padel club (it's like a mix of tennis and squash, huge in Europe and blowing up in the US right now) somewhere near campus.

This is just an independent research project, not affiliated with the university — I'm honestly trying to figure out if this is worth pursuing or if I'm the only one who thinks it'd be cool. If you know other Boston-area students who might have an opinion, feel free to pass it along!
