I am touring Northwestern at the end of this week. I could not be more excited! I am specifically going on a tour of the Medill School of Journalism. Do y’all have any advice for specific questions to ask, things to look for, etc. on my tour? Any tips would be much appreciated, I want to get as much information as possible on my trip and really experience Northwestern!
Congratulations on your upcoming visit. However, you will know the questions you want answered better than anyone else on this board. Just don’t waste the big group’s time at the Tour with questions that are specific to you and that can be answered with a little Google action! 
Good Luck!
Hint: For lunch look for Rolling to Go on Noyes by the El, (If RTG is full - go right next door and have the soup and sandwich) or if a burger is what you want - Edzo’s on Church St. FlatTop Grill is good for Asian fusion.
Ask to go to Norris and make sure to check out the Knight Lab (though that may be automatic). Also, ask if you can see inside of a classroom. Check to see if there are any summer classes you could sit in on.
This is the perfect week to tour, as they are more than half-way through the spring thaw, and you can actually see some blades of grass poking through the snow!
Moop… Did you just describe Minn?
Evanston is the new International Falls. Two seasons: winter and 3 weeks of bad snowmobiling. I hear they might drop cross country in favor of luge. Maybe I’m wrong.
Oh please. D in Boston had four years worth of worse weather than her brother in Evanston, but no one complains about Boston winners. Graduation weekend was gorgeous!!
moop: Sorry to hear that the Evanston Chamber of Commerce thing didn’t work out for some reason…
Totally agree with @pizzagirl; the graduation weekend was simply amazing.
@pg & nudad : with all due respect…baloney. I lived for years all across the northern tier of the U S, and the north shore of Chicago is colder than Boston. I was at O’Hare in mid-June of this year and there were people.wearing winter coats. My kid has grown up in the heart of the Rust Belt and thought N.u. would be no problem. But right up to the last week it was chilly…none of the balmy late-spring weather most of the rest of the.Midwest enjoyed. Had to talk kid out of trying to transfer somewhere in the south.
moooop - it was an exceptionally chilly spring this year. I’m in NY and we were wearing warm clothes through the beginning of this month, maybe Boston didn’t get the same weather pattern. We were laughing that it was so cold during the day in June and July that no one could wear their shorts and sundresses. Not record-breaking cold, but unusually cold. I got one of my smallest electric bills ever because we weren’t running our air conditioner (so I guess that’s a plus)!
