Visit Northwestern

The best way to figure out fit is to visit. Our students say one of the best things about Northwestern—the feeling of community—is hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. But you can get a taste by visiting campus. Meet our students and professors and talk to an admissions and financial aid counselor. Sit in on classes and spend the night in a residence hall.

Northwestern also provides opportunities to visit campus that are designed for students interested in a specific major or sport--for example, athletic training, music, nursing or theatre, and football or wrestling. Dates, schedules and online registration forms for 2012-13 visits will be posted this fall.
