NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
NEW YORK CITY SCHOLARS EXCURSIONS
WELCOME!
As part of the Northeastern University New York City Scholars program, we’ve planned four immersive weekend excursions and multiple exciting day excursions. These excursions offer an opportunity for you and your peers to connect with one another and discover new parts of New York City and the surrounding area - your new home away from home.
NEW YORK CITY
“New York is a city of possibility and endless exploration. There’s always something new to discover around every corner.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STUDENTS:
Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each student must individually register themselves. Once registered, changes may not be possible so please review each excursion before making your selection.
Each weekend itinerary is almost identical. You may only register for ONE option. If we have extra room on other weekends, you may sign up again.
