Come and explore all Northwestern has to offer! If you're going to be the first in your family to attend college, please join us for Exploring Northwestern. Please note this event is for seniors in high school applying to college this year.

A panel of current first-generation college students will talk candidly about their Northwestern experience, answer your questions about how they navigated the admissions process, and share how they adjusted to campus and student life. You’ll also receive an overview of our admission and financial aid process, attend a essay writing workshop, enjoy lunch on campus, and can go on a campus tour. Parents/guardians and family members are also welcome (Please note: Although we cannot offer travel assistance, lunch will be provided.)

Registration opens September 3, 2024. Please contact Emma Bausch at ugadmissionoutreach@northwestern.edu with any questions in the meantime.
