How to Register
Check back to register in mid-September.
- There’s a registration fee of $25 per adult guest. This fee covers programming costs and parking (on a first-come, first-served basis). There is no registration fee for Northeastern students or for children 12 and under.
- If your student has a friend who doesn’t have a visiting family member, register them along with your family for some added fun. If your student is abroad or across the country, come and connect with the Northeastern community.
Program Schedule
- Design your own schedule and take part in a variety of Boston excursions as well as complimentary campus events.
- Visit the Museum of Fine Arts, tour Fenway Park, listen to our finest a cappella groups, enjoy activities and treats at our Fall Festival, and explore Boston campus gems including our arboretum and public art. There’s something for everyone!
Event Tickets
- Families can purchase tickets to Boston excursions at the time of Family & Friends Weekend registration.
- Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis and reach capacity quickly. Before purchasing, check with your student on their class schedule and workload. Classes are in session.
Hotels
Northeastern is located within walking distance or a short drive from many hotels in the greater Boston area. We encourage you to make hotel reservations in advance.
Parking
Complimentary parking is available in Northeastern’s 795 Columbus Avenue Garage. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Should complimentary parking reach capacity, families can choose to park in the nearby pay facility, Renaissance Garage at 835 Columbus Avenue. Please note: we are unable to validate parking tickets from pay garages.
Registered guests will pick up their parking coupon at Family & Friends Weekend Check-in, located in the Curry Student Center Indoor Quad.
