<p>Hi Dodiefae, </p>
<p>The “T” is really very manageable. I haven’t been on either the Philly or DC subway and can only compare it to the subways in NY, which they are absolutly nothing like.
The Greenline E (one of the two main lines serving the school) is absolutly owned by Northeastern Students. As a matter of fact me and a bunch of people were taking it home about 2 weeks ago and we found ourselves in a debate with 5 or 6 other strangers (who were also students) on the train, when we got off we found that 2 of them lived in one of my friends buildings. So hopefully that gives you an idea of the “culture” of the Greenline E. Obviusly I wouldn’t recomend striking up conversations with people on the T but we were a big group of guys, but that kind of illustrates what the T is like in the evening.</p>
<p>The Greenline E cuts right through Northeasterns Campus and as you probably know Northeastern has its own stop, its probably the line students use most. Going outbound towards “Mission Hill” or “Brighton” is always free from the Northeastern stop
which comes in usefull for students as many who choose to live off-campus live in this area.(And on the weekends its where most “extracurricular” activities take place)</p>
<p>The Orange line also serves Northeastern and has the “Ruggles Street” stop basically right on campus. If I had to choose I’d say the orange is the rougher of the two, but both are very safe. And it would be fine for a girl to take either alone. But obviusly exercise a little caution, if it was my daughter I wouldnt want her to be alone anywhere be it Boston, or in my hometown…</p>
<p>What can be kind of annyoing is that the “T” closes at 1:00 AM. So if you decide to go out after a hockey game or the likes; or go to a party you’ll find yourself walking home which after 1:00 AM is never a good idea. I perfer to take a taxi even if im with a bunch of guys, and if your a girl it’s a mandatory procedure. Especially comming from Mission Hill.</p>
<p>Overall I’d say the “t” is probably one of the safest transit systems, its clean (and some of the lines such as the B which serve BU and BC are getting new trains), and its
populated up until it closes which adds to the safty. I find most students embrace it rather than hate it. You can get an T-Pass from the registrar and charge it to your tuition every month I think its 60 dollars which is a discounted rate for students…</p>
<p>As far as doing an overnight, you definitly can do it. Your much better off calling admissions 617-373-2200, or the visitors center, unfortunatly I dont have thier number but admissions can give it to you…</p>
<p>Let me know how you like your visit! Perhaps I’ll be your tour guide. (Wear your CollegeConfidential T-shirt 
) And if you have any other questions don’t hesitate…I only wish I had someone to ask when I was coming here. …</p>
