The sixth and final installment in a year-long series chronicling two brothers’ freshman years.

As freshman year draws to a close, David and Jason Brodsky-Porges are already gearing up for the future. But while the fraternal twins may share a birthday, they didn’t share a housing lottery number – which left one unable to choose where he will be spending sophomore year.

“I don’t actually know where I’m living next year … I got 88 places from the end,” David said with a laugh. “I’m trying to talk my parents into the idea of an apartment, but I don’t think it will happen.”

Jason, however, received lottery number 1,997, and said he chose a two-bedroom in Willis Hall as the home for he and his three roommates next year. Jason said he plans to live with two of his friends from Stetson East and one from Speare Hall, while David said he hopes to live with two friends from Loftman Hall. The brothers chose not to room together for their sophomore year.

“That’s what summer is for,” Jason said.

The twins will move back to their native Seattle about three weeks after Northeastern’s spring semester officially ends. They’ll spend the extra time traveling around visiting friends in Philadelphia and Long Island until their sister’s graduation from Simmons College, Jason said.

Although both said they are looking forward to getting back to Seattle, neither was too excited to leave their new home.

“I’m just getting used to being here; I know where my classes are now. It’s about time,” Jason said. “It feels like the end of summer camp.”

David said he has grown to love Boston in the eight months he has spent at Northeastern.

“I have had a really good time out here; it’s pretty cool that I’m here in Boston,” he said. “I’ll miss all my friends here. But my friends from home will all be back in Seattle, so I’ll just shift friend groups.”

Both plan on working and catching up with old friends over the summer and have begun registering for next fall’s classes. While co-op seems too far in the future for them, both brothers said the thought of spending co-op in Seattle has crossed their minds.

“If one of us did [spend co-op in Seattle], we probably both would,” David said. “We could maybe rent out my dad’s basement, work and save up money, that wouldn’t be bad.”

Neither said they had much of an idea of what they’d like to do for co-op, but both said they were open to the possibilities.

“I think I should choose randomly and just try it out, either I like it or I don’t like it,” David said.

Over the past months, Jason said he has watched his relationship with his brother change. Although they attended different high schools in Seattle, he said they had always lived together, and living apart has changed their bond.

“Last year we saw each other every day,” Jason said. “We grew a little apart this year.”

He said he only sees his brother once every few weeks, but that their friends get along. The growth, he said, “is probably for the best. Eventually we’re going to be living far away [from each other].”

David said he has no regrets about traveling across the country for school. When he went home for Spring Break, he visited with friends who stayed in Washington for school, he said.

“It definitely showed me the side I was leaving, and what I had left behind,” he said. “But I wouldn’t say I had any regrets.”

Both looked back on their freshman years as chances they took to branch out, meet new people and forge new relationships. Looking forward, the two brothers said they are excited for the future.

“I’m going to miss the year you get to be a freshman,” Jason said. “You get to know everybody, and that’s it for the next four years.”

David said he, too, has fond memories to look back on.

“Some of the friends I’ve made, you know, they’ll stay your friends for the rest of your life,” he said. “It’s definitely been a really good experience, I have something to look back on.”
