Customize Your Northwestern Visit

Experience Northwestern for yourself!

Come on over, but we’re warning you: you might just fall in love with our campus before you get out of your car.

We're happy to tailor an individual visit just for you!

Most students and/or their families want to tour the campus and meet with an admission counselor, but there are many other places to see and things you can do during your visit.

We want you to experience what's important to you. Just let us know what you'd like to do. Please try to schedule your visit at least two weeks in advance, so we can make the arrangements for you.
