It’s hot in the Northeast this week, with temperatures hovering near 100 degrees. Some students on Northeastern’s Boston campus are trying to beat the heat by sipping cold drinks, lounging in the shade, and studying in air conditioned buildings. Others wish the summer would never end.

Don Kim, bioengineering

“I usually like to get a cold drink, lemonade maybe, and go to the Curry Student Center if I’m on campus.”

Gillian McLarty, marketing

“I do homework here a lot of the time or in Snell. I actually kind of like that it’s hot because it’s so cold the rest of the year.”

Skylar Morley, management

“I wish I were 10 years younger so it would be acceptable to run through the pool at the Christian Science Center in my bathing suit. I also really wish we had some kiddie pools around campus.”

Christina De Icaza, architecture

“I like to bike on the esplanade. I think it’s good to go outside even when it’s hot out.”

Jacqueline Chang, criminal justice and psychology

“I usually stay in Snell and do homework, or go to coffee shops. I still get hot coffee though.”

Kelsey Powers, mechanical engineering

“Hammocks! Find shade, down water. It’s tempting to run through the sprinklers right now. But I was just in Florida on co-op, so this is nothing.”

Matt Wikstrom, music industry

“I don’t have AC at my house, so I take multiple cold showers a day. I just jump in for a few minutes then put my clothes back on and go back to class.”

Claudia Ortiz, psychology

“I’m from Puerto Rico, so I love this weather. This is the only time of year I feel normal. I like to leave my house as much as possible because in the winter it’s too cold to go outside. I play basketball, so when it’s really hot out I go to the gym.”
