According to the website, students enrolling to the campus in fall 2023 “are able to transition to Northeastern’s Boston campus after their first year of study no matter their academic program.”
The multitude of Reddit posts on the topic conveyed students’ lack of clarity on which program they were admitted to, as well as the details of the program and transfer options.

“Students should be aware that that is what they are getting themselves into and should only be able to opt into that option if that is something that they want,” Kucera said. “I think Northeastern just needs to really specify on their application what these options are for students so they’re not disappointed or surprised when they get their acceptance.”
Katya Zhuravytsky, a fourth-year neuroscience major, said she noticed a difference in campus density during her time at North- eastern. While she thinks the school should do more to mitigate this, she’s unsure that other locations will offer students the same experience.
“I am in no way opposed to the school accepting more students, especially because more and more people are applying each year,” Zhuravytsky said. ”However, if the school makes the active decision to accept more students, then they also need to maintain the same quality of education and opportunities offered to each one of those students.”
Zhuravytsky noted that while she thinks students should be allowed to attend alternate campuses if they prefer to do so, the Boston experience is unmatched and cannot be translated to other campuses.
“Northeastern was founded in Boston and has most of its influence here,” she said. “Our education is reflected in our participation on this specific campus and by our interactions with the Boston community as a whole.”
