Fellow NU parents …
Is it just me, or is all the communication from NU to incoming freshmen / parents of incoming freshmen incredibly wordy?

I find myself reading it and thinking, “Just bullet-point the 5 things my student and / or I need to do in the next X days.”

I don’t need yet another breathy paragraph about how excited they are to see the students, and how great of a class this is, and we know you have a lot of questions and we’re happy to help you and so make sure to read everything on this page because we’ll try our very best to answer all your questions but if you don’t, please feel free to contact us because we are so very excited to welcome you all to Evanston in the fall and don’t forget, you’re a great class! Honestly, as an alum, I’ve thought about contacting them and asking them to scale it down and get to the point. Am I alone in this?
