NEW STUDENTS

NEU Hillel provides a welcoming, pluralistic Jewish community on campus that supports students in their transition to, and throughout, their university experience. We co-create action opportunities with students to explore and live their values, both on and off-campus. We offer Northeastern students opportunities to develop a meaningful relationship with Israel, including opportunities to study, volunteer, Coop, and tour in Israel.

FRESHFEST

Fall 2025

Tuesday August 26th - Tuesday September 2nd

✓ Learn about Jewish Life at Northeastern, clubs, academics, co-ops, greek life, and more

✓ Celebrate the end of summer together at a beautiful camp outside of Boston

✓ Share unforgettable experiences with your new Husky family

✓ Move in early

✓ If you are attending a Northeastern mandatory orientation or part of another program that moves you in early you can still sign up for FreshFest! We work with all departments on campus to assist in your ability to participate in FreshFest!

This annual program is put on by Hillel to help freshmen adjust to life on campus and avoid the move-in rush.

The goal of this program is to set you up with a solid network of friends, to help teach you about the best campus locations, give you academic advice, and teach you campus secrets so you’re ahead of the curve.
