Facebook page for parents of NU students

<p>I am starting a closed Facebook page for the benefit of parents of Northwestern students. My older daughter attends the University of Michigan and I was fortuntate to stumble across a page for Michigan parents which has been extremely valuable to me over the last three years. My younger daughter will be a freshman at NU this fall and I wanted to create a similar page for NU parents.</p>

<p>If you are a current parent of an NU student and are willing to provide support and guidance to new parents, please join! If you are a parent of an incoming NU student, please join! We now have almost 700 parents on our Michigan parents page and discuss everything from where to find a doctor when your student is sick to where to get a good brunch. Local parents are especially helpful for the out of state parents. </p>

<p>The group is closed so that our students don't see our conversation which allows us to speak freely. It has been an exceptional sounding board and support group. Since it is closed, if you would like to be in the group, please send me a message with your name, facebook name if different and your email address so I can send you an invitation. The group is just me right now so it will take a little time to get us rolling! </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Great idea. I would have liked that resource for the past 4 years. S graduates next weekend and really enjoyed his time at NU.</p>

<p>This is a good idea! I have a son who will be a freshman this fall and would love to join the group. I’ll message you and try to spread the word.</p>
