<p>Thank you for all your responses! I agree that visiting in the summer doesn’t always offer the best impression because this past summer I visited Northwestern and I was a bit dissapointed because it felt so dreary and I just got the sense that I wouldn’t enjoy going there. My Dad travels to the Washington D.C./Virginia area a lot for business so I think I will try to plan a trip for early fall.</p>
<p>Dean J is there any particular day of the week that is less crowded than others as far as tours and information sessions? </p>
<p>thank you for the advice about the Munroe society! I will definitely look into that when i go</p>
