From what I have hear NEU has a pretty good networking faculty. Network Science PhD Program has the same faculty as the CS PhD right?

Some of them yes. It has mutual faculty with CS, Physics, Math and Social Science I guess. Actually this special program is pretty young so it does not have much info on the web. Even for seeing the content of courses I googled a lot till finally found something.

You should not give a lot importance to factors like courses and age of program as long as the faculty is good. Have a good research record and past student record. 

You advisor is the most important thing that should matter in your PhD.

I know people who joined their university because of the prospective advisor, even though they got into another university that was around 25 places higher in the rankings with a well known program.

I agree ... I mentioned the age of program to say there is nothing on the web about it. I mean exactly nothing and some of students I sent an email did not respond so I have no idea about the program. I agree about what you say but in this case I'd like to have a bit of info about the program at least e.g. the content of the courses ARE important to me because my research is on the border of Physics, CS and Pure Math which means I need to learn a lot! The prof who supports my application is actually great and I'm looking forward to work with him but I do not know about the program. Another example is the accommodation stuff or the amount of fund which are critical for my situation.

Ask your advisor to send you emails of his students. It is probably spring break/midterm exam time maybe thats why they are not replying.

Check out https://boston.craigslist.org/search/hhh and http://www.northeastern.edu/offcampus/

Rent is around 1000-1200$ per room.Avg. Food is around ~500 per month less if you cook. Other costs include phone, internet, utilities, transportation etc.
