Housing application process
Our application process is straightforward, and completing all three stages gives you the best chance of securing your preferred Residence Hall and room type. (Remember, housing is selected on a first-come, first-served basis.)
Don’t worry — if you don’t complete every step, our Housing Team will assign you to a room. However, we highly recommend keeping an eye on all communications from Northeastern University London and staying on top of deadlines to maximise your chances of getting your preferred Residence Hall and room type.
Stage One: Pre-Application Form
This is your first step and helps us get to know you better.
You’ll submit:
- Your Personal & Academic Information – Helps us maintain accurate records.
- Room Type Interest – Select the room type that best fits your needs. Your choice will determine the specific application you complete on StarRez.
- Reasonable Adjustments – Inform us if you have a registered reasonable adjustment with DAS that could affect your housing assignment.
- Please note that your submission of the Pre-Application and indication of room type interest does not guarantee that you will receive your chosen Room Type on Room Selection Day. Instead, it provides valuable insight for the Northeastern University London Housing Team’s summer planning.
Stage Two: StarRez
The next stage requires you to access our Northeastern University London Housing Portal on StarRez in mid-June.
But first, you’ll need to:
- Create Your StarRez Account – You’ll receive an email when it’s time to set up your account. Please Note: You won’t be able to create an account until you’ve been imported into the system and receive this email.
- Once you’ve created your account in StarRez, it’s time to:
- Form Your Roommate Group – Create your Roommate Group for the academic year in StarRez before room selection. Please note: Students who selected a Studio as their preferred room type will skip this step in StarRez.
- Join the Roommates Discussion Board – A great place to connect and find potential roommates.
- Select Your Room on Room Selection Day – Pick your Residence Hall and Room Type directly in StarRez. (The process will differ based on your preferences and requirements, so be sure to read the guide carefully!)
Stage Three: Pre-Move-In Tasks
You’re almost there! Here’s what to expect in late July/early August
- Confirmation of Your Housing Assignment– Expect an email with your final housing details a week after the room selection deadline.
- Complete Induction & Sign Your Housing Agreement – Log into StarRez to finish induction modules and sign your housing agreement before moving in.
- Room Swap Opportunity – Want to make a change? You’ll have the opportunity to swap rooms before move-in day. While you won’t be able to submit a response until the form opens, the room swap conditions will be shared with you on 25th July.
Frequently asked questions
Can I look to stay in alternative accommodation?
No. The London Scholars program is a residential experience, so students are required to live in university-sponsored and managed housing during the program. These live-in opportunities will be structured, and there will be live-in staff available 24/7 through various modes to ensure that students are supported in their personal and professional journeys.
Can I book directly with the provider to ensure my preferred building & Room Type?
No, students should not be booking with the provider directly. Northeastern University London has secured rooms within our partnered residence halls for all Northeastern University London students. London Scholars are required to complete their housing selection through the outlined process on StarRez to ensure students are selecting a room owned by Northeastern University London ensuring they reside within the carefully curated Northeastern University London residential community among their peers and live-in staff members.

- A Bedding Pack – Duvet with cover, fitted sheet, pillows, and pillowcases.
