Visiting Northwestern University...

Veronica was very excited about visiting Northwestern University as she’d already ranked it as her top choice before we’d even arrived. After visiting all seven colleges, Northwestern was still at the top of her list and she’s since decided that she will apply for Early Decision.

The views of Lake Michigan were gorgeous!

While Veronica took an environmental science class, Jimmy and I visited Block Museum of Art, which is on campus. Afterwards, we visited with a professor for a tour of his labs. After 1.5 hours of barely understanding a word, I begged off to join Ashlynn at the hotel; how impressive that a professor would take two hours of his time to talk with a prospective student about research opportunities.

I was originally nervous about the idea of Veronica going to college in Chicago because of the high crime rate, but fell in love with the school and the charming college town of Evanston. We felt it was safe enough that Ashlynn went to a movie and shopping by herself.
