Can you believe that it's already September? Most of you have been on Co-op for over two months and are comfortable settling in the new environments. During this time of year everything seems busy due to returning students arriving back at school and moving into their apartments. Aren't you glad that you don't have to do that this year? The chaos that thousands of students bring to the city each Fall might seem overwhelming, but it will bring changes and add variety and energy to the surrounding community. September is a great month to celebrate the end of summer, so go ahead and spend some time outdoors before it gets cold! This is the last opportunity to attend summer events, and I hope that you will have a chance to do that.
We always welcome student feedback and ideas, so if you have any suggestions or would like us to organize an event for Co-op students, e-mail us at coopconnections@neu.edu.
