Things to know – Northeastern University isn’t a Greek school. In fact, all sororities and fraternities are not affiliated with the school what so ever. It is also not a sports school. Although hockey is a big sport on the East coast the rinks are never packed on game night. Most parties are held on Mission Hill, not too close to campus and in not so safe an area. The biggest event of the year is the Head of the Charles held in October on the Charles River. It is a big Regatta with rowers coming to Boston from all over the world. It is a great event to attend. The main mode of transportation is the railway system called the “T”.
