Your first day goes well into the evening and we don’t want you to miss a thing. Stay on campus overnight and you’ll be where the action is, including our popular NSO Late Nite, featuring the Campus Legends Tour. Your online confirmation will include a link for housing reservations as well as lodging options for parents/guests. ll Travel. Make your travel plans AFTER you receive your electronic confirmation.
