Preparing for Early Decision Visit Days

Attend Fall Virtual Open House Sessions

Throughout October, we’re offering a series of virtual events and videos to help prospective students and families learn more about Northeastern. We encourage all Early Decision Visit Days attendees to also participate in our Fall Virtual Open House before visiting—especially one of our admissions sessions. Details about how to participate in Fall Virtual Open House are coming soon—please keep an eye on your inbox for more information.

Arrival and Parking

Parking can be found in the Columbus Garage at 795 Columbus Avenue. Please take a garage ticket and bring it with you to the event—parking will be validated at check in.

If you choose to utilize public transit, Northeastern is easily accessible via Ruggles Station (Orange Line) and Northeastern University Station (Green Line E). More information about how to use the MBTA can be found here. If you are using a rideshare provider such as Uber or Lyft, we recommend entering 291 St. Botolph Street, Boston, MA as your destination. Given our location in Boston, we encourage you to plan for traffic and other slowdowns. We thank you in advance for doing your best to arrive on time.

Early Decision Visit Days registration will take place on the 17th floor of the East Village Residence Hall, 291 St. Botolph Street, Boston, MA—about a five minute walk from Columbus Garage or university MBTA stations. Staff will guide you from the entrance to the building once you arrive.
