Standard admissions presentation. It was good of me to remember the presenter's name though because when I hand-delivered parts of my app, he was the one who took them in and filed them.

Very informative. I liked how Northwestern is very generous with financial aid, 72% or so of classes contain less than 20 students, excellent student:faculty ratio, and the "quarter system"

The woman leading the session was very friendly and informative. Definitely made me feel welcome at the school and explained very well what they're looking for.

First info session was well done - we got to hear about several programs and hear from current students with different majors and participating in different programs.
