Northwestern University Top Questions

sometimes. yeah. but the girls are attractive.

Somewhat. Many Northwestern students are wealthy... there are lots of people who stress out and try way to hard... and we have very few activism groups/I've never seen a protest of any sorts on campus.

The only stereotypes that I actually believe are accurate are how apathetic we are and the fact that our campus is not politically motivated. We're in the middle of a HUGE election process, and we haven't had any campus debates or anything.

NO! Parties and social events are always happening, you just have to learn where to find them. There are plenty of attractive and amazingly outgoing people. Everyone is pretty smart, but you'll find everyone is smart in different and unqiue ways. Some people are snobby, but you'll find that no matter what school you go to.

Some are and some aren't. I think for the most part students here are work hard, play hard. some people can be a little hard to get out of their shells, but if you have worked so hard in high school to get to a place like NU, i can't blame you for being a little socially awkward. But for the most part, i think people know how to have fun, and how to study.

No no NO! Although a lot of Northwestern students do have a lot of money, most of them are not stuck up or too proud. Also, Northwestern students are hardly competitive at all with each other-- in fact most students LOVE working together for all homework, midterms, final, etc. It is a really friendly environment.

somewhat

Absolutely. Northwestern is a great place to get an education (probably because most students are hunkered down in their dorms studying when its snowing outside). The student population is also fairly diverse. Everyone is academically driven and most students know how to balance their nerdy side with a bit of fun.

Couldn't be more true about engineers.

somewhat NU students study more than i expected, but some still go out every weekend (me, for example)
