Threshold corrections to the running of gauge couplings are calculated for superstring models with free complex world sheet fermions. For two N=1 $SU(2)\times U(1)^5$ models, the threshold corrections lead to a small increase in the unification scale. Examples are given to illustrate how a given particle spectrum can be described by models with different boundary conditions on the internal fermions. We also discuss how complex twisted fermions can enhance the symmetry group of an N=4 $SU(3)\times U(1)\times U(1)$ model to the gauge group $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$. It is then shown how a mixing angle analogous to the Weinberg angle depends on the boundary conditions of the internal fermions.
