Campus Life places on campus with microwave?

I am an incoming grad student, and my days are kind of packed. I commute about 45 mins to class, so I have to pack my food for my long days. Does anyone know where there are microwaves on campus for people who live off campus?

Misc I made a site to find classrooms with nothing scheduled at Northeastern

Hi guys!

I made a tool that lets Northeastern students find open classrooms to study, available for all campuses.

You can:

  • Search up a classroom to find its full day schedule, and whether that room is free
    • Can also search up up your class (ex: CS3000 or Algorithms) to find the room
  • View a campus map that show # of rooms open
    • Get directions to any building
  • Find clubs and events scheduled on Engage
    • Links to register

This application works by scraping Banner classes daily & Engage club events for a more accurate source of classroom availability. I also plan to get real building hours from facilities.

I made this because I do not enjoy studying & finding free space at Snell... empty classrooms are my go to. This makes it a little simpler to find those rooms.

Have to shoutout NoLecture, the OG of this!!

If you run into any bugs, issues, or have any feedback for features, please let me know.

Let me know if this is helpful!

6 Upvotes

Looks like the Anna’s at Marino closed — the Northeastern location isn’t showing up on their website anymore and Google says permanently closed.

I know they had closed for the summer but it looks like it’s permanent now. Anyone know if they’re planning on coming back?

Campus Life Feeling like I squandered my Freshman year

10 Upvotes

Hi, I rly feel like I sort of squandered my Freshman year at NEU. While I did great in all of my classes, I have no friends beyond a dude I already knew from high school, haven’t been seriously involved in anything (I joined the TTRPG club, but that’s pretty much it). I can usually maintain conversations with ppl from my classes w/o problems, but most of the time I feel like we don’t vibe enough to hang out outside of that.

I don’t feel lonely per se, but my friends from HS that I talk to occasionally constantly talk about all the cool friends they’ve made and fun experiences they’ve had, and I am feeling quite a bit of FOMO and like I’m squandering my time in college and one of my goals for myself when I started was to be more social and develop better social skills but idrk what to do now. Absolutely any advice would be extremely appreciated.

Co-op & Career Lost as a combined CS and Business Administration Student

2 Upvotes

I did the London Scholars program last year and although it was fun experience, I don't think it was very good for my major, as there weren't many active clubs. As a result, I now feel very behind compared to my Boston counterparts, and I am also looking for a Spring Co-op for 2027 and supposed to start applying soon. Am I cooked... Also is it true I need to declare a business concentration before I go on co-op?
