What is Welcome Week?

It’s an annual fall tradition on our campus where the University welcomes all first-year students with an array of academic and social programs, special campus events, and a host of opportunities to explore and experience the wonders of NU and the exciting City of Boston.

When will I receive my Welcome Week Booklet?

All students living on-campus, will receive their program booklet when they arrive at their residence hall. Students living off-campus will receive their booklet at the Off-Campus Welcome Breakfast.

What are some of the events I may want to participate in?

The Welcome Week committee has planned a full schedule of events for the week. Some of the highlights are:

• Night at Target
  
• Presidents’ Convocation
  
• New Student BBQ

Is there a fee for any of these events?

Are any of the events mandatory?
