Review of Northwestern University

from Madison, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Northwestern is an extraordinary university with incredible opportunities across many fields. Northwestern's location is excellent, with Chicago just an L ride away, and all of the culture and metropolis close, but not abrasive. Northwestern campus creates a beautiful environment that fosters creativity.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Start your essays as early as possible, and have as many people read them as possible. Do not take the SAT/ACT more than twice. Northwestern is really looking for an excellent person aside from simple a 36 or 1600 on one standardized test.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Northwestern has a very rigorous environment.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I have not yet stayed in a dorm, but my friends at Northwestern say that the dorms are very comfortable and community-oriented.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I have only eaten in the student center, but I presume that the food in the dining halls is also nutritious and tasty.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

I am not yet sure, but I assume you should go to sporting events and join clubs.
