<p>If it’s only $250, it’s likely not NAIMUN. Unless you’re in the DC area. I’m curious because ds was supposed to go, but the flights have really increased the cost and we’re now trying to figure out whether it’s worth it.</p>
<p>Soooo …</p>
<p>If anyone has any opinions on NAIMUN, specifically, I’d love to hear them.</p>
<p>In terms of Model UN as an activity, both my kids did it and loved it. At some schools, it’s a class. At some schools, it’s a club. At some schools, it’s both. How much work you put into is up to you. Ds2 spends several hours before a competition researching and preparing his notebooks. It’s not last minute at all to just now begin preparing for a February competition. The schools have to determine which countries and committees they represent before the real work begins.</p>
