London Scholar and Semester In housing

No. The London Scholars and Semester In 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.

Please note that any independently made reservations will be cancelled, and the university is not responsible for any financial losses – this may include forfeited deposits or other payments already made.

No, students should not book with the provider directly. NU London has secured rooms within our partnered residence halls for all students on Northeastern’s London campus. London Scholars and Semester In students are required to complete their housing selection through the outlined process on StarRez to ensure students reside within the carefully curated NU London residential community among their peers and live-in staff members.

No, NU London does not offer a meal plan. When in London, residential buildings will have a full kitchen (mini fridge and stovetop) in each student apartment. It is expected that students will fund and cook their own meals. This is the typical UK college experience.

No. NU London housing costs are included in the London Scholar or Semester In program fee. Students will not pay any additional fees or deposits to secure housing before or during the program. If any damage or cleanliness issues are identified during a check-out inspection, students may be charged after the conclusion of the program. Additionally, students cannot pay Northeastern and/or Northeastern University London to guarantee a room type or building.

Northeastern University London is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible residential experience. Students with disabilities, medical conditions, or other qualifying circumstances may be eligible for reasonable adjustments – also known as accommodations or support services – designed to support their individual needs.

To be considered for a reasonable adjustment for housing, students must complete all the following steps:

• Register with Disability Access Services (DAS) and provide appropriate supporting documentation, which may include:
– Medical or GP letters
– Educational psychologist assessments
– Psychiatric or specialist reports
• Submit a reasonable adjustment for housing request through StarRez

Prior to Room Selection, students with approved reasonable adjustments on file with DAS will be offered a room that best aligns with their needs. If a student chooses to decline this offer, they may participate in the general Room Selection process, with the understanding that the room they select may not fully accommodate their needs.

Upon arrival, all London Scholar and Semester In students will find a kitchen and bedding pack in their room. Ensuites and shared apartments are provided with a kitchen packs scaled to match the number of occupants:

• Bedding Pack – duvet with cover, fitted sheet, pillows, and pillowcases.
• Kitchen Pack – pot, pan, mug, plates, bowl, cutlery, and essential utensils.

Please note towels and additional personal items are not included and must be purchased separately.
