<p>Hi!
Like the title says… what do we do after getting accepted?
How/by when do we confirm that we are going to attend and what do we do about financial aid? Will these information be included in the packet arriving later?
Whoa, that’s a load of questions. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I’m confused as well. I expected the paper letter to arrive the next day after online notification, but I still haven’t recieved it. Anyone else in the same boat? </p>
<p>I know the online one said over the next few days they would tell us via email. So I guess we play the waiting game… once again.</p>
<p>I received my packet yesterday. It has a sheet with your NetID information and you have to log in to create your Northwestern e-mail. There are also directions about how to pay your housing and tuition deposits.
There’s also a link to this website with a checklist.
[Welcome</a> to the Class of 2014! - Office of Undergraduate Admission, Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/admitted/]Welcome”>http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/admitted/)</p>
<p>Has anyone else not received a letter yet?</p>
<p>Found mine in the mail today.</p>
<p>And what to do after getting accepted? Celebrate, of course! NU 2014!!!</p>
<p>I didn’t get my letter yet either and I live like an hour and a half tops away from campus.</p>
<p>mooble, thx for the link! I better check it out right now since i havent gotten my packet yet. And fyi, I am an international student so I guess it makes sense that I’m still waiting… (waiting is always SO HARD!)</p>

<li>Buy a very warm coat.</li>
<li>Get ready for the Outback Bowl on January 1.</li>

<p>I graduated from NU 25 years ago. So excited for all who are entering next Fall. Congratulations and good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>If I may add to LINYMOM’s excellent list: Buy thermals. UNIQLO makes some excellent and stylish (albeit more expensive) ones under the Heat-Tech trade name.</p>
<p>What do you recommend about bikes. When I visited I saw a lot parked in front of building, but what happens in the winter? Is it safe to leave a bike out? Are they necessary to get across campus?</p>
<p>Bikes are not necessary, but definitely a plus. I left mine out in the winter (And continued to use it when I could) but this led to its rather early demise. Not reccomended. The University supplies safe winter storage.</p>
<p>The shuttle system also works pretty well if you need to get from south campus to north campus.</p>
<p>Here’s another must-do after being accepted. #6 on my list (see my previous post for #1-5):</p>
