Are N.U.in students at a social disadvantage when they arrive on campus in January?

Northeastern’s campus is transitional in nature, meaning students are constantly coming and going, either for domestic or global co-ops, study abroad, or other experiential learning opportunities. The N.U.in Program fits in perfectly with this culture, and students are not at a disadvantage by entering in January.

Due to this constant movement on campus, there is always a Spring New Student Orientation, a student activities fair, and Welcome Week activities offered each January for all incoming students. The N.U.in Program also holds a welcome event for N.U.in students, and former parents have commented that arriving to campus can be likened to a reunion, as students are excited to see each other after forming such close friendships while abroad.

Additionally, The N.U.in Program assists students with their transition to campus, providing opportunities to meet new students and feel comfortable while they adjust to the Boston campus environment.
