Running Start

Running Start at Northeastern provides an early college opportunity for TRIO eligible students.

Join us August 11-14, 2024 to get a running start on your college experience.

Students arrive on campus early, move into the residence halls, spend time refreshing academic skills, getting oriented to campus and the community, and making friends.

"I liked the environment and knowing that I have a lot of resources to look for when I’m struggling or need help. I also enjoy doing things that I’ve never done before and being able to experience them for the first time." - student from 2018

Students will:

move to campus early.
get to know Northeastern's campus.
learn about the community.
meet fellow students and make new friends.
learn the technology.

The opportunity is funded by Northeastern's TRIO grant.
