Get to know us!
Diversity Reception
& Admitted Student Open House

We hope you will get to join us for our two most important admitted students' events of the year, our Diversity Reception (March 30th, 6-8 pm) and our Admitted Student Open House (March 31st, 9 am - 2:30 pm).

Meet fellow admitted students; ask questions of current students; get to know our top-notch faculty and staff; tour our campus; learn more about academic life; get a feel for our strong sense of community and student life....and much more. This is your chance to get to know us, just as we got to know you through the admissions application process. Every year students say these events are the way they got to really "feel" Northeastern University School of Law - and they report they are thrilled they came.
