For students who are moving to a NEW assignment for Summer:
You do not have to move out between Spring and Summer. There is a Move to/from period during which you will move from your current assignment to your new assignment.
Spring Move-in
The 2025 Spring Move-in will take place January 3 and 4 (by assignment) for students who did not live in University Housing in Fall 2024. Students will receive their official move in date with their Housing Assignment in December. If possible, students should not book travel until they receive their official move-in date and time for the smoothest move in experience.
Preparing for a New Semester
We look forward to welcoming you and your student to campus. As you prepare to arrive to a new space, you may have questions about how to prepare. Students are always assigned a specific move-in date and time which is shared with them via Northeastern email. Sometimes, there is opportunity to change their arrival date, although early arrivals are not always available and move-in services may not be available on alternate dates.
While we cannot share specific room details like layout, number of closets, square footage, etc. , we will recommend that you bring the essentials and a few personal touches. There are opportunities near campus to purchase additional items, as well as having items shipped to campus once your student has settled into their space. It is common for students to move to different rooms for summer terms, and having a manageable amount of belongings is helpful for those transitions.
- Looking for a recommended list of what to bring (and what not to bring)? You can find more information on our What to Bring page.
- We partner with several vendors who provide resources to our students and families such as summer storage, microfridge rentals, and blue bike services. More information can be found on our Vendor Information page.
- Keep in mind, there is no oversized (over 6’8” including roof racks/storage) or overnight parking provided.
