Northwestern University Top Questions

yes

No. The only one that has some standing is the awkward students one. Also, there are a lot of gay guys, but that is part of what makes this such a diverse and awesome place to be! There are a handful of huge nerds, but thats part of why I love it!

somewhat. i've found most people to be very nice and helpful. it's not like people are sabotaging each other. the dating scene is pretty difficult, but it is a personal thing and depends on how many groups of friends you have and how often you go out. I know a lot of people who are in "serious" relationships, "serial daters," and single&looking.

No, we're no more nerdier than any other top University.

For a lot of students, yes. Northwestern University is surrounded by some of the wealthiest suburbs in the country; a lot of students come from those suburbs or backgrounds, but not all.

Only the last one - the rest are contradictory.

Yes and no. You get to choose your friends. If your in to partying live up north, join a frat or sorority (like me) and your just like any other school. If your the opposite than live down south (most theater, music journalism majors live down south). The two parties rarely associate themselves with each other, sad but true.

in part. Northwestern students are pretty smart and do tend to work hard. They also like to relax and think about what else is out there

Yeah
