Northwestern University Top Questions

It's a good location in that it's not in the middle of nowhere, but I prefer a more suburban setting. The professors are all very much excited about the subjects they instruct. Many of them are experts in the field. The campus is gorgeous. Some campuses are just plain buildings placed on cement, but the school is old and has some lovely buildings.

The large number of clubs/volunteer organizations. It lets you take a break from classes.

The theatre program at Northwestern is fantastic. I really love it, and feel like I'm learning a lot and doing what I need to be doing. It's totally possible to be in a play and take challenging, fascinating classes at the same time. Again, I'm doing what I love and learning a ton. This school has everything I need program-wise.

The wide variety of activities and opportunities offered.

It's the best of both worlds - it's close to a major city, but it's suburban so you still have a real campus feel. It has a beach, great stores and off-campus life.

If you are interested in ANYTHING we have it at NU, and if we don't many people are ready and willing to start something trendy and new.

AMAZING education. Good/smart students.

Northwestern is a school in which the alumni are loyal and proud of where they came from. The connections in the industry are tight, because Northwestern stand by their own. I just feel proud to go there, even though I've had many problems with them my freshman year (particularly with sexual harrassment, but you'd encounter that at any college).

The diversity of the student body in everything from race/ethnicity to special interests and goals in life.

I would consider the best thing is the education I am receiving. I have learned so much about my major and life in general. Specifically, I love the discussion-based classes.

The best thing about Northwestern is the fact that it is a school with a great reputation. Also, the great majority of students there worked very hard in high school, so the environment constantly poses challenges--the type that push you to be your best.

I think that the best thing about NU is its location. 30 minutes from Chicago, the best city in the country with lots of job choices. Not actually IN the city, so crime is not a problem. Right on the lake so we have 2 beaches and great places to go and relax. Close enough to the city that we can convince famous performers to stop at campus while they're in the city and perform for us.
