<p>I highly recommend the NU admitted students’ days for both students and parents. Not sure when they are scheduled this year; three years ago, in mid-April. Email admissions office for dates. </p>
<p>When my son (now a junior at NU) and I attended three years ago, there were some separate sessions for parents which were very helpful, on health services, academic and career resources, etc. Also some joint parent/student sessions such as an opening overview, luncheon, a big activities fair and a great music/improv show.</p>
<p>Parents were left to go to dinner by themselves while current NU students took “prospies” for dinner at the dorms. I asked another mom I saw wandering around to go eat with me. My son and her daughter did not meet that day…but they met two years later at NU Dance Marathon, and have been BF/GF ever since!</p>
