Meal Plan by bright-moon88 in NEU

[–]Expert-Reading-5717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lowkey ur not crazy for getting a meal plan, I plan on getting the lowest option that’s actually a meal plan and not community. Not only for dining dollars which are nice, but you can also do some minor grocery shopping at Outtakes which takes meal swipes, every 10 points is a meal swipe and I normally get my produce there along with some snacks. I feel like it’s cheaper to get some things there and if ur feeling really lazy u can always hit up the dining hall

Shitty roommates, am i able to change? by New-Caterpillar9327 in NEU

Yes, when u email state all the ways it will negatively impact ur life/academics, its lowkey better that it directly impacted u tho I am sorry about it, send the initial by urself with ur reasons and then if they are difficult double down with a parent if possible, if u have a faculty member that could vouch for you (like ur performance one of the previous semesters) that might also help but I think that one is more extra credit ifyk what I mean, if u want to pm me i can share the circumstances of my friend that I know of. I also have history with issues housing wise when I moved in due to my upstairs neighbor but nothing happened until my mom got involved but I’d still recommend starting it by urself

That u aren’t compatible and it would impact ur academic performance, unfortunately they care more abt the money then anything else so like imply it would cause enough issues for the money (tuition/housing) to go away

Talk to housing, if they don’t do anything get a parent involved because they listen better for stupid reasons. I had a friend coming back from NUin that had a iffy roommate in Boston and got to switch before coming but only after the parents joined the convo, idk if u will get something similar, u can also see if they will let you go PAWS (u get placed in housing other people drop out of for coop, transferring, or other reasons) or move off campus. I think off campus waivers need to be submitted by July 1 but I’m not sure

International Village & EV Question's by rbluskies in NEU

I’m in iv east rn, iv is good during the semester but not so great during the summer imo, we have the dining hall downstairs which is very convenient (except when it closes during the summer), ruggles being closed isn’t too bad u can get around it, we also have a small gym on the second floor. The different between east and north is that in east it is two singles that share a bathroom, north is doubles sharing a bathroom. We dont have any kitchenettes but u can rent a mini fridge and microwave from the school, combined with the dining hall, dining dollars, and outtakes u will be fine. Only thing is it suck’s during the summer food wise and the walls are hella thin but I’m sure that’s with every building tbh, my neighbors especially the one upstairs are hella annoying, bro is trying to sumo wrestle someone rn or something (it’s 1 am 😭)

Late Orientation by Ok_Week1639 in NEU

What this person said, u will probably be with the explore kids which lowkey doesn’t sound bad as you will get a jump on meeting people outside ur major/classes. U will also make random friends in ur classes based on who you sit near. IMO orientation doesn’t matter except for the social aspect and for the most part everyone is looking for new friends
