Summer Internship Housing

Northeastern Intern Housing participants can purchase optional access to Northeastern’s summer dining facilities in batches of 25 meals and/or 50 meals. Meal Plans are added on after your application has been approved for intern housing.

While most Intern Housing participants find that Northeastern’s proximity to public transportation allows them to forgo having an automobile on campus, a limited number of monthly parking passes may be available at the Renaissance Park Garage (located in square A2 on the campus map). If you indicate your interest in parking on the Intern Housing application, further information will be emailed to you upon assignment, after your full housing payment is received. The cost for parking in 2025 is $360 per month.

Northeastern’s Intern Housing participants can purchase a campus recreation membership for access to the Marino Recreation Center (located in square C1 on the campus map) during their stay on campus. Check out the Marino Center’s website for detailed information on the facilities and equipment available. Instructions on how to sign up for such a membership will be emailed upon assignment, after your full housing payment is received. The cost for a campus recreation membership is $140.

Northeastern University Intern Housing participants will have access to various educational and professional development opportunities while on campus. More information will be provided upon registering for the Intern Housing program.

Northeastern University allows for emotional support animals on campus after review and approval of proper documentation by our Disability Resource Center Office. Please note, the approval process can take 2-3 weeks. You will need approval for an ESA prior to your arrival date on campus.

Please fill out the following documents and email them to DRC@northeastern.edu and Internhousing@northeastern.edu. If you are a current student of Northeastern and not participating in the Intern Housing program at Northeastern please only send your documents to the DRC. *For the ID line please leave that blank, your ID number will come once you get your housing assignment*.

GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY

Maintaining a secure conference building depends on cooperation from the entire community. Follow these guidelines and use common sense for a safe and rewarding stay at Northeastern:

Close and lock your door(s) and window(s) when you leave your room, even if you plan to be gone for a short time.

Report all suspicious activity, thefts and other crimes to University police immediately.

Never sign strangers or anyone for whom you are not willing to be responsible into your building.

Immediately report any disturbances on campus or in the city streets to University police.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE

If you witness a fire, sound an alarm at the nearest pull station. Pull stations are located on each floor of every residence hall near the exits. The door of your room or apartment has a detailed evacuation route for fires and other building emergencies. Please take a moment to reference this document.

At the sound of an alarm, move quickly and quietly to your closest exit, including the alarmed emergency exits. Close doors behind you as you leave. In an orderly fashion, follow the direction of conference staff, NUPD, or Fire Department officials and wait for further instructions. If possible, wear a coat and shoes and carry a towel to use in case of smoke. Keep these items easily accessible for emergency use along with your keys and conference card since it may be several hours before you are permitted to re-enter the building.

A number of residence halls at Northeastern utilize fire escapes as an alternative means of egress. Access to fire escapes is through dedicated windows. Fire escape windows must be kept clear. No furniture, air conditioners or other personal effects are to be placed so as to restrict access to the fire escape window.
