<p>Arbiter213, re: the link to housing – it looks likes this is something new, part of something called the “First Year Experience”, and involves 6 of the seminars. See the details on the Freshman Seminar page:
[Freshmen</a>, Undergraduate Students, WCAS, Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.wcas.northwestern.edu/advising/freshmen/seminars/descriptions.html]Freshmen”>http://www.wcas.northwestern.edu/advising/freshmen/seminars/descriptions.html)</p>
<p>Sure makes the selection of Freshman seminars even more complicated, since a seminar that sounds interesting to a student may be linked to a dorm that s/he doesn’t consider very desirable… And there’s no mention as to whether some of the 2nd Fresh. Seminars (taken in Winter or Spring) will also be dorm-specific.</p>
<p>The Fresh.Sem. page also mentions a link to find out whether a student is assigned to having the 2nd seminar in Winter or Spring quarter, but I couldn’t get it to work…</p>
