I know it’s a little wordy and sometimes the information is redundant, but I appreciate the fact that they are trying to communicate with parents. My son, who prefers to handle college related issues on his own, does not forward the necessary information to me at times, but with this email communication, I can ensure that I won’t miss on any important issues.

About being “overly” nice, I believe it’s their way of making incoming new students feel welcomed and safe. It IS a communication for the incoming NEW students to Evanston who may be very nervous about starting a new life alone in a strange place. I think the wordings may change anyway as the time progresses…
