Campus Life

In the College Preparation Program, you can experience the fun and excitement of college life as either a Residential or Commuting Scholar. Residential Scholars live on campus in Northwestern University residence halls. Commuting Scholars attend classes and participate in campus activities while commuting from their homes in the Chicago area or staying with relatives living nearby. With either option, you have the opportunity to experience campus-wide Summer Session activities, including lunchtime entertainment on Lake Michigan, barbecues on the beach, and an evening outdoor film festival. Other University-sponsored activities, such as theatre and music performances, are open to all students.
