<p>Hi nu2016-
For my daughter when she was a freshman-
She did not arrive at the university until Wildcat Welcome which the school offers to incoming freshman, by way of explaining I do not know many answers to your questions. I do know she preferred Verizon for her phone service as reception seemed to be better at NU than ATT which she had initially. She used Bank of America rather than the bank that was on campus, and her computer of choice was Apple.
We went shopping for dorm room items upon her initial arrival. After her freshman year, she did her own shopping.
I hope this helps-
~APOL-a Mum

I copied this section: Useful Resources for International Students</p>
<p>Northwestern University’s International Office provides information about visas, housing, meal plans, health services, travel, banking and pre-arrival information. All international students are required to register with the International Office upon arrival to Northwestern University. For more information, please contact:</p>
