To request a roommate, both you and your preferred roommate (requests must be mutual) need to go to My UW Housing and complete the following: Either create a roommate group for your roommate(s) to join or join the roommate group your preferred roommate has already created.
All of our residence halls are gender inclusive.
Illinois Street Residence Halls (Townsend and Wardall) offer in-room coed options and multiple individual-use bathrooms on each floor. Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls (Babcock, Blaisdell, Carr, Saunders) is coed by door (male designated rooms next to female designated rooms).
Your dorm or suite may be co-ed or single gender; some schools group suites by gender and floor, some do not.
Northeastern University is proud to offer All Gender Housing to all of our residential students. The All Gender Housing policy can be found here.
A Roommate Agreement is a written contract between roommates that outlines their rights and obligations while living together. This agreement includes house rules, maintenance duties, restricted behaviors, and more. For a Roommate Agreement to be useful, everyone sharing the household must agree to it.
Residence halls offer on-campus housing and meal plans for all students. Entering freshmen are required to live in these halls. Learn more about signing up for on-campus housing.
In our commitment to fostering inclusive communities, we recognize the need to provide housing options that meet the diverse needs and interests of all students. Please note that all of the communities are coed, which means there are no gender-exclusive buildings.
A written roommate agreement is a contract created and signed by you and your roommates (no need to get the landlord involved) before or when you move in together. It should establish house rules like quiet hours, division of household duties, a cleaning schedule, how you'll handle overnight guests, and more.
