Do students need health insurance while abroad?
Yes. Students are required to have international health insurance coverage while abroad. Please see the Health & Safety pages under each location for more information.
What happens if there is a medical or health emergency while students are abroad?
The N.U.in site staff that accompanies students abroad is fully trained and prepared to handle any emergency. Our partner institutions have assisted with setting up relationships with local hospitals nearby, and staff is aware of all safety protocols. There is an on-call phone number that students can call 24/7 to reach a staff member should an emergency situation present itself. In addition, the Boston staff have an emergency phone and are kept aware of any situations at the locations abroad. Parents are typically notified of emergencies either by their students or staff.
Why is there a Service-Learning requirement for N.U.in students?
The goal of the Global Experience course and Service-Learning requirement is to help N.U.in students prepare for, gain from, and reflect upon their term abroad as a profound global experience. By actively engaging in the local community, students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the local language, history, and culture. Many students who visit a Service-Learning site regularly find that they build relationships with the local people they work alongside.
What types of courses do N.U.in students take?
Students take the one-credit Global Experience course, which is taught by N.U.in site staff and ties in closely with Service-Learning, in addition to a country-specific course and courses that fulfill Northeastern Core and/or major requirements. For more detailed information on courses, please visit the “Academics” pages for each location.
Am I eligible for financial aid during the fall N.U.in semester?
Students can view their financial aid package through the Application Status Check site where they also found their admission letter. Because The N.U.in Program is a pre-matriculation program, only need-based Northeastern grants can be applied to the fall N.U.in semester. All other federal loans, grants, and work study funds can be applied to future semesters, beginning in the spring.
