April

When I tell friends about my school, I often brag about the opportunities that have opened up to me and the networking possibilities that I have experienced. I am in my fourth year at Northwestern, and yet I feel as though there are so many more opportunities for me to take advantage of before I graduate. Its wonderful that there is so much happening, both on and off campus, for Northwestern students to experience, but it can also be disappointing when you realize you can?t do it all!

Ben

I don't brag about my school. I don't want to sound pretentious.

Margaret

Best theater program in the country that isn't a conservatory! As a theater major, there is not a better school that I could be at, considering that I don't just want to be an actor. Also, it's the 12th best school in the country, which gives it a higher rating than Brown, my original first choice, where I did not get in. Has some of the best resources of any univesrity in the country.

The amount of opportunity for students to get involved. There are so many different student-driven groups on campus.
