A Graduating Senior's Guide to Northeastern

Quick start

Start with Resources, then skim Study and Getting Around. By the time your first week ends, you'll feel a lot more "I've got this."

Day 1 checklist

Husky ID, Canvas, and "where are my classes?".

Week 1 confidence boost

Snell Library + a go-to late-night snack.

you got this

Senior Advice

A few things we wish we knew sooner - so your first semesters feel easier.

Start your co-op plan sooner than you think

Use the first weeks to learn the systems (NUworks + career resources), then build momentum.

Pick 1–2 routines (not 10)

A weekly study rhythm beats last-minute chaos every time.

Join something before you feel ready

Most people are just as nervous as you. Showing up is the whole secret.

Ask for help early (it's a flex)

Office hours, tutoring, advising - using support makes you stronger, not "behind."
