Accommodation image

Northeastern's official student-finance page publishes cost-of-attendance allowances rather than a single housing price for every programme. For 2025–2026 CPS budgeting it lists a housing allowance of $8,100 per semester, alongside food, personal and transportation allowances; actual Boston housing, meal and transport costs vary by residence, lease and lifestyle. Confirm the current housing process and budget with Northeastern before applying.
Daily living support image

Boston offers broad grocery, restaurant and campus-dining options, but Northeastern does not publish one universal international-food entitlement for all programmes. Students should review the current campus dining, dietary-accommodation and housing information for their campus, and budget separately for food because the official cost page lists food as an indirect allowance rather than a fixed charge.
Safety and support image
Image placeholder
Northeastern provides campus services and an Office of Global Services for international students, while Boston emergency services remain the relevant authority off campus. Students should use the university's current public-safety, health and emergency guidance and call 911 in an emergency; housing and transport decisions should be made using current local information rather than a blanket safety claim. International applicants receive programme-specific admissions guidance and support from Northeastern's Office of Global Services for immigration, academic and employment compliance. Requirements vary by college and programme; the graduate site directs applicants to current application and financial-aid guidance, while the catalog is the controlling source for degree requirements.
