I really appreciate cosmicdreamer’s original post as some of it validated a recent experience. My child visited NU for a couple overnights and his take away was that it isn’t a very inclusive campus for lower income, minority students. I was saddened by this. I guess that is why visits are so valuable. Sending him there would be a huge sacrifice for me and my family, so I’m glad he found out now what the environment is like. ROI is a big consideration, but so are the social and emotional aspects of a good with with your campus.
