Northwestern University Students Share Their First Year Experiences - Walk and Talk with Harlan

I spent an amazing day walking around Northwestern University. I met students who were so generous and enthusiastic about sharing the ups and downs of their college experiences. From finding roommates, to deciding on a major, finding a significant other, rushing a sorority, and getting through academic struggles, these students covered so many key points of the college transition. It's hard to know what to expect or what's normal during your first year in a new place, with new instructors and friends. In this podcast, you'll get to hear advice straight from students who have been there and done it. * * * * * * * * * * Are you a parent of current or soon-to-be college student? Are you a student?
