If your student hasn’t filled you in about what’s happened so far this fall—or even if they have—you might enjoy seeing proof that there’s been plenty going on here since classes started in August. From one of Longwood’s most beloved traditions to the newest restaurants in town, here’s a generous helping of photos, videos and information to help keep you in the Longwood loop. You might even catch a glimpse of your student!
