My name is Jessica Wilcock, and I'm a freshman at Northeastern, originally from New Haven, Connecticut. I am in the architecture program and look forward to becoming involved with many new activities on campus. I am excited to share with you my first experiences here at NU and in the city of Boston.

The End of Another Year Already

It's hard to believe I only have 2 more days left until my final crit for studio, and so much left to do in that time. I haven't really had time to do much of anything else. I've been working in the studio for atleast 12 hours a day for nearly the past week, and still may have to pull an all-night before my deadline on Friday. As one of friends was talking about last night at about 3 a.m., this time of year is when architecture 'doesn't seem so glamorous.' And yet, I still rather be sleepless in the studio that studying for anything else, so I guess it all works out.

I move home on Friday afternoon right after my critique, so Friday definitely will be a very busy, very exhausting day. But I'm really excited to be going home, especially since I haven't seen my family since spring break. It'll be so nice to not have anything to do for a few day before I start my summer job.

Hope finals are going well for everybody!

Hey! I'm a potential freshman from Texas and I'm in Boston until Sunday to look around Northeastern and Boston University. I've been accepted to both and am having some difficulty deciding where to go, although I am leaning towards NU. I'd love a local's point of view on cool places to check out on campus while I'm here, and also a personal opinion on the NU environment. Thanks, and good luck on your architecture project!

The environment, or atmosphere, on campus is one of my favorite things about Northeastern. I love that we are in a major city, but when you are on campus you 'on campus.' You can take a break from the busyness of the city and enjoy the green spaces. It allows for some of the more stereotypical college campus images of students playing frisbee in the quad, while still be a city campus.
