Snackchat

Snackchat

Nothing brings the Northeast Area together like Snackchat! Sometimes, you just need to take a break. The area leadership team makes sure residents do it together while enjoying a treat and looking up from phones. The offerings vary from week to week. Staples include fancy cheeses, fresh fruit (especially the kinds you won’t find in the dining hall), chocolates, and more. Some Snackchats are themed and have featured items from guacamole to ice cream sundaes. Stay tuned to the area newsletter and keep an eye out for posters with details.

Pre-Game Tailgates

The Northeast Area loves to support Northwestern’s teams! It’s probably because of our location and because a good number of student-athletes live in the area. There are regular outings to cheer for teams from the lakeside fields to Welsh-Ryan. Things usually start with some great food. Depending on the weather, it could be meeting up in the Bobb lounge for Portillo’s before heading out to the game or burgers grilled by Faculty-in-Residence Tali in one of the area’s green spaces. Have a favorite team? Let us know!
