We know that keeping in touch with family and friends back home is challenging yet important during your time away. Past N.U.in students have found it helpful to set up a schedule for calling home, as having a set time can make time differences much easier to handle. 

For safety reasons and for ease of communication, students are required to have a mobile phone that makes and receives international calls while abroad with The N.U.in Program. While some students choose to purchase a local phone plan, others opt for international calling on their current mobile phone plan. Phones must be acquired and working (calls, texting and data required) within a week of arriving on-site. Students should research the mobile phone options available to them prior to arriving abroad. Students typically have a chance to learn more about phone plans and purchase a phone during pre-departure orientation and on-site orientation.

 

We encourage past, current, and prospective students and families to follow us on our social media accounts for updates and inside glimpses into the lives of N.U.in students. Follow us on Instagram to keep up to date with all N.U.in Program news and happenings.

Email communications from Northeastern University and The N.U.in Program will be sent primarily to students via their Northeastern email addresses, which are created as soon as students activate their myNortheastern portal. Parents will receive some communications, but students are encouraged to initiate their own inquiries and problem-solve during their time abroad.
