Hi everyone!

I was accepted to Northeastern on Friday for the FNP track. I'm so excited but already stressing about to financially handle living in Boston and Northeastern's tuition. Does anyone have advice on where in Boston to look for affordable housing? Did you apply for any scholarships, get any financial aid from Northeastern, and/or are there any graduate assistantships available for direct entry nursing students?

Congrats on your acceptance!

 As for housing I would say that Mission Hill is on the "cheaper" side but still safe and close to campus. It's also pretty close to some of the clinical sites and it's on the T/ bus route. Otherwise, looking at where the T/ bus goes to get you toward campus while being a bit farther outside the city definitely makes it cheaper! 
 

Once you have your northeastern email, you can use their online housing/ roommate database which is what I did to find somewhere affordable and still close to campus. 
 

Financially, it's kind of rough. There's a few scholarships they'll start to send out throughout the Summer/ once you're in the program, but honestly, it's pretty empty going through Northeastern in my experience. There also aren't any TA opportunities or assistantships that I've heard of yet. There's definitely a LOT of clinical assistant positions/ medical entry level jobs in Boston since there's a zillion hospitals around. I would say like a third to half of the students in our cohort are working at least a little bit, but it's definitely hard with our schedule. I would highly recommend looking for outside scholarships or even talking with your financial aid counselor about different options. 
 

If you have any other questions feel free to dm me and I can shoot you my email!

thank you so much, this is super helpful info to have!! I found the same thing to be true when I applied for undergrad (ultimately why I didn't end up going). hopefully I will still end up in boston ?

Hi guys, I've just been accepted into the DE MSN program for the pediatrics speciality for the upcoming fall 2021 semester. Before I accept I just wanted to know about the program directly from the students? How do you guys like it? How stressful are the classes etc? Thanks ?
