Northeastern is partnering with local businesses to provide "Safe Havens" in case of emergency. Participating merchants have stickers posted in their windows, and provide you a safe space where students can contact police and wait until assistance arrives. All residence halls, Fire Department stations and Police precincts are also considered Safe Havens.

Click here to nominate a student! 

Living off-campus has its perks, as well as responsibilities like paying rent and bills, commuting to class or co-op, and respecting the local neighborhood. Recognizing this, we want to honor a student who lives off campus, upholds their responsibilities and exemplifies being a good neighbor.

Anyone can nominate a deserving student for the first annual Good Neighbor Award. Nominees must:

• Be a full-time undergrad & live off campus
• Actively engaged in the local community 
• A positive member in their community
• Actively observe all aspects and values of being a Good Neighbor

Nominations are due February 19!. 

Be a Responsible Host!

With Super Bowl XLVII this weekend, remember to be a responsible host and a respectful neighbor!

Talk to your neighbors if you are going to have people over. Provide your contact information so they can contact you before they file a noise complaint!

You are responsible for anyone underage consuming alcohol in your off-campus dwelling.

Serve a variety of non-alcoholic drinks and food. Make sure that you only serve measured drinks one at a time.

Stay alert and be aware of your guests and noise levels. Noise complaint/violations can include fines.

Be smart about alcohol and don't allow guests to leave with open containers. You can be summonsed to court for "keeping a disorderly house". 

The Student Code of Conduct still applies off-campus and any violations with Boston Police will be reported to the University.
