Northeastern University at Brooklyn Heights

The St. George Towers are located within a 5-minute walk of the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, and R lines. They are also just one stop away from Manhattan via the Clark Street subway station on the 2 and 3 subway lines and roughly a $15 taxi ride to Midtown Manhattan during off-peak hours. The area has several great restaurants and retail stores, as well as several universities.

Northeastern University has four single rooms available at the Brooklyn Heights location, and all rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Each room is a single bedroom with a private bathroom and a regular twin-size bed, desk, chair, dresser, refrigerator, and closet.  Refer to studenthousing.org/student-life/st-george-towers/arrival to learn more about what you should and should not bring for your stay.

• $400 ($200 for each term)
• Deposit returned ONLY if the student cancels in writing BEFORE the cancellation deadline (listed on the application). If a student does not cancel in writing before the deadline, the deposit and cost of ENTIRE term is charged to their account

For more information, please contact Sonya Cottam at s.cottam@northeastern.edu to schedule an appointment.

Please note that EHS enforces a strict guest policy.  You must sign in all overnight guests before their stay, and there is a $5.00 charge per night, which goes toward student programming.

How do I apply?
Your first step is to make an appointment with Network Housing & Relocation. After completing this step, you can submit the Housing Application here. Once Network Housing & Relocation has received the application, a staff member will give you deposit authorization.

How much is the housing deposit?
The deposit is $200 per each term you will be living in the housing, so most co-op students are paying $400 as their deposit. (For example, $200 deposit for Summer II and $200 for Fall). The deposits will be applied towards the total housing payment.

How will I be billed?
You will be billed to your NU account in the same manner as NU on-campus housing.

Can I transfer my on-campus housing deposit to the New York Housing deposit?
No, all Beyond Boston Housing deposits must be made through NUPAY. Your on-campus housing deposits will be refunded once you cancel with Housing Services – https://www.northeastern.edu/housing/cancellation-deadlines/.

If I decide not to live in the NU Leased Housing I applied for, or if I can’t get the co-op outside of Massachusetts that I wanted, do I still have to pay for the room?
You must cancel your housing in writing with Network Housing & Relocation 45 days prior to the official start date of the co-op term to avoid paying any housing fees. If you do not cancel within 45 days of the official start date of the co-op term you will be responsible for ALL 26 weeks of payment.

Can I move in early/stay late?

Since co-op terms are back to back, early arrivals or late departures directly impact the move-in/move-out and schedule for the student living in the housing before or after you. They can be declined by the housing provider if there is not enough time to clean the rooms between students. If extenuating circumstances require you to move in early or late, contact Network Housing & Relocation so that we can work with you on arranging short-term accommodations.

Are the rooms furnished?
Yes. Each room has a twin-sized bed, desk, and dresser for each student. However, you are responsible for bringing your linens.

Is there a kitchen in the room?
No. Each room has a full-size refrigerator and a communal kitchen on the first floor. The communal kitchen has microwaves, ovens, and stove-tops available. You are required to provide your own cookware and utensils.

Is there a bathroom in the room?
Yes.

Do I have to pay for cable or internet?
Cable and internet is available in the room at no additional. You only need an Ethernet (CAT5) cord to hook up your computer. A wireless connection is available only in the lounge area.

Do I have to pay utilities?
No. Utilities are included in the cost of the room.

Who should I contact if something in the room is broken?
You should contact the EHS residence staff. More information will be given to you upon check-in. If you are having trouble contacting your residence staff, e-mail NHR@northeastern.edu.

Is there laundry in the building?
