Is a university a certain place in a certain location or a brand that extends beyond its pre-existing borders? Northeastern believes it's the latter.  At a time when artificial intelligence has permeated every aspect of our society — and as it threatens to upend our job...

Northeastern’s ranking as one of the most liberal universities in the nation may seem like a statistic to boast about, but in today’s evermore polarizing climate, this distinction actually hinders students’ ability to reason. Don’t just take my word for it — the Foundation...

Northeastern’s decision to offer students whose visas were recently revoked the option to complete classes from Canada or the UK is not protecting students — it is a form of complying with authoritarianism. In April, the State Department revoked visas for more than 40...

While only about half of all Northeastern students take on student debt, it is a real and anxiety-inducing burden for those that do. One out of every two Northeastern students are graduating with $16,000 worth of debt — a financial weight they must carry with them as they enter...

Over the past year, Northeastern has experienced two defining moments. The first was the April 2024 student encampment calling on Northeastern to divest from American defense contractors that supply weapons to Israel. The second is the Trump administration placing pressure on...

One hundred days into the second Trump administration, college students' lives have been altered in ways many of us could not have imagined.  Through funding cuts, the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and visa revocations, this administration has...

When I was 16 years old, I submitted a letter to the Chicago Tribune writing about the negative effects of gentrification in Chicago’s Chinatown. Clippings of the piece were hung up in my orthodontist’s office, read by my peers and celebrated by my family. I felt immense...

The first rule in the despotic leader playbook is to attempt to control the press. In 1930s Germany, Nazis broke into the offices of opposing political parties and destroyed their printing presses. In 1940s Russia, formerly the USSR, the communist party commandeered the media,...

Harvard University President Alan M. Garber has displayed extraordinary courage by issuing a resounding and uncompromising “no” to the Trump administration’s most recent attempt to encroach on Harvard’s independence. On March 31, the Trump administration’s Joint...

Unlike choosing classes or applying for co-op — both of which Northeastern provides structured guidance for — finding an apartment is a process where students are largely left on their own. Without proper research and a clear idea of what they want, students risk overpaying,...

In a recently published op-ed, a columnist makes the claim that “disagree[ing] with the Trump administration [will be enough for them to] come for your visa status.” I disagree.  While I cannot speak specifically to the approximately 40 visas revoked from Northeastern...

For students at Northeastern, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or MBTA, system isn’t just public transit — it is a lifeline. Every day, numerous students rely on the Green or Orange Line to get to classes, internships and part-time jobs.  But that lifeline...
