<p>I’m quite confused about Northwestern’s Summer Session. Are students required to take Summer Session? What do people do in it? Any additional tuition required?</p>
<p>no students aren’t required to take summer sesion, people do it to help take any classes they need to graduate on time or to get their double major, etc. or just because they want to take extra classes for whatever reason</p>
<p>it does cost additional tuition, yes.</p>
<p>Thanks elsijfdl!</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m doing summer session, mostly because I want to live in Chicago this summer and since my internship didn’t work out I figured taking a class would be worthwhile. I’m taking a class for my major (film) and it’s screenwriting, which I figured would be a good class to take during the summer when I actually have free time. I know a number of people staying to do Orgo this summer. Fin Aid, however, is hard to obtain for summer session.</p>
