Campus Life Quick Poll: Would You See John Summit?

9 Upvotes

Hey! Quick question for some market research we're doing.

Our company is thinking about giving away John Summit tickets to Northeastern students through our ticketing partner, as part of promoting a new product. Before we go for it, we want to see if people are genuinely into it.

Which sounds most like you?

1 – I'm a fan and was already thinking about getting tickets

2 – I'd go if I won, but wasn't planning on it

3 – Not really my thing

Just reply with a number. Thanks!

Co-op & Career Job fair advice

5 Upvotes

Today is going to be my first ever job fair as a grad. Any advice or suggestions I should keep in mind. I had selected the 2:30 pm slot so should I arrive exactly at 2:30 pm or earlier than that ? Any other tips to keep in mind ? How much time can I spend on each booth talking with recruiters ?

Housing & Dorms storage scholars reviews vs just renting a uhaul - anyone done both?

1 Upvotes

my stuff came back fine through storage scholars this year but now that I've seen the final bill for a summer of storage I'm doing the math before signing up again. a uhaul plus a monthly unit somewhere off campus comes out way cheaper on paper, and with a spring co-op I'd actually be around all semester to load a truck myself. anyone done the DIY route for move out? was it survivable during finals week or did you end wishing you'd just paid for the door to door pickup

Advice & Experiences NEU’s admin sucks.

58 Upvotes

NEU’s administration is the worse I’ve ever dealt with whatsoever. NEU delayed my financial aid till late August, didn’t allow me to defer so coordinated for me to have a late start. In this time frame, both me and the administration stayed in contact with my professors. Now, the administration is pushing me to defer because my professors aren’t willing to support me now that I’m physically present. I feel OVERLY played and am so tempted to start a suit against NEU on the basis of promissory estoppel and negligent representation. Otherwise, I would not have moved ACROSS the country to start classes, if I knew not only the administration but faculty SUCKED.

Co-op & Career Supervisor treats me like a secretary

12 Upvotes

Is this normal? I'm about 2-3 months into my coop as a test engineer and I find myself often going to other subdepartments within our company to find meaningful tasks, as my supervisor treats me more like a secretary. For example, he oftentimes gives me tasks like organize boxes for him, pick up his packages, or just very simple tests like watching a fixture run while taking hourly notes. I understand that this is a natural process of learning, but I don't feel like I'm moving forward at all. The other people in my department are great, and my company mentor/other supervisor are very supportive and give a good workload, but I mainly report to this supervisor. I'm unsure of raising this as an issue because I don't even know how I feel about it, and how it may pan out in the long term for this coop. If anyone has similar stories or situations with their bosses and how they handled it, please let me know. Thanks.

Co-op & Career Is it possible to start a Fall 2027 co-op in August instead of July? Looking for advice (Finance/Accounting)

8 Upvotes

I recently accepted a Corporate Finance internship for Summer 2027, which ends on August 6.

I’m interested in doing another co-op for Fall 2027, but I know most co-ops typically start around July 12. Since my internship doesn’t end until August 6, my earliest possible start date would be August 9.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or been able to negotiate a later co-op start date? Would starting almost a month later hurt my chances of getting hired?
I’m mainly looking for opportunities in corporate finance, FP&A, and accounting. Bain Capital has a cool corporate finance role that I like, but I’m willing to work at any accounting or finance company.

I’d also appreciate any advice from people working in finance, especially regarding companies that are flexible with co-op start dates, networking, or finding Fall 2027 opportunities.

Thanks in advance for any advice or connections!

Campus Life Made an app because I knew nobody in my 70 person class

128 Upvotes

I started at the Oakland campus, then moved to Boston for my second year. So I basically had to start from zero twice. New city, new dorm, and the first few weeks were me, my roommate, and whoever was in the elevator.

It still feels like that sometimes. I'm in a class with like 70 people and we all act like strangers. Same lecture every week, zero idea who anyone is. Then I'd find out way too late that someone in there also lived in my dorm, and played soccer, AND was just as obsessed with CW Flash as me. We'd been around each other for weeks and never talked, because there was no reason to.

So I spent the last few weeks building an app I called Ruggles. You tag yourself (hometown, dorm, classes, sports, shows, whatever you want really) and you can see who here shares that with you. You can even stack them, like "lives in West Village + supports Sunderland + loves Ninjago + in MATH 1342." You only add what you're comfortable sharing.

Every Tuesday it also puts you in a small group with people who overlap with you and suggests something to do together. It's still early, so the more people join, the better the groups get.

I'm just a fellow Husky who got tired of the empty lecture hall feeling. If you've felt that too, I'd really appreciate you trying it. It's only for Northeastern students for now, so all you need to sign up is your Northeastern email.

Also, what’s the most random thing you found out you had in common with someone way too late?

Campus Life Starting a libertarian org (moderately left)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. There are only three whole-rounded political clubs on campus from what I can discern (YDSA, Democrats, Republicans). While Huskies4Israel, Huskies4Palestine, and Educational Freedom Project all hone in on specific campaigns, I would like to diversify the political thought landscape on Northeastern.

With both my support for workers' rights and the environment, alongside traditional constitutional patriotism, I am beginning this club.

If you are interested, please DM!!

Admissions & Financial Aid Is northeastern a scam school??

0 Upvotes

I’m currently looking at schools in Boston and I’ve been reading a lot online and people seem to have a generally bad opinion of northeastern (high number of satellite campuses, questionable acceptance rate, high tuition, etc.). Does this sentiment carry any weight? Online they make a solid argument but open to other opinions. Thanks!!

Misc (Motor) Scooter parking outside Snell Library?

2 Upvotes

I see motor scooters parked outside Snell Library whenever I go by; is this something I can do? Do I need to obtain permission for it? I spent all my financial aid money on the scooter itself and other bills for this semester, so I can't afford the $1000 for parking at the garage, but I would like to actually use the thing to commute if possible. Does anyone know anything about this?
