I wish I had known how hard it can be to get housing. If you are a junior or senior, it can be really difficult to get housing and you have to get lucky to get it.

The housing situation and how they didn't offer it to all upper classmen not until the finish building the new residential buildings to provide housing for all five years around 2010. I wish I knew that it would be hard to transfer to other schools or changing majors is very difficult and may require to stay at the university even longer than it is.

My decision to attend Northeastern University has been one of the best decisions of my lifetime. I fit perfectly on this campus and love close to everything about it. While it would not have affected my decision in the least bit, I wish I would have known the extent of the weather conditions. Going to college in Boston has resulted in many days with shockingly low temperatures and every form of precipitation imaginable. However, below-freezing temperatures and blizzards is a very small price to pay for attending the perfect college for me- Northeastern University.
