Review of Northwestern University

from naperville, il

Describe your college in three sentences.

the campus is absolutely gorgeous, and all of the professors, secretaries, and students i had met on the trip were wonderful, driven people. hearing about the opportunity that this school gives to it's students allows me to feel a sense of how much each student in northwestern is cared for. everyone at northwestern would not want to be anywhere else, and neither did i.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

get involved in something that will make your academic narrative exceptionally unique. the students who are the most open minded and well rounded will gain perspective on many levels and a gain in perspective is a new way to seek knowledge and creativity.

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

the students and professors at northwestern understand hunger for knowledge and desire for creation. they want to see success in all of the students, but that means that they will receive an amazing, rigorous education.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

from what i had the chance to see, the dorms seemed nice. there were no complaints about them.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

i have heard time and time again that the dining at northwestern is unbelievably great. for a university, that is absolutely outstanding. very few universities have great dining with great variety of foods. northwestern university is one of those schools.

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

the city is right there! chicago is a wonderful city full of culture and excitement. as someone who has lived nearby and been many times, i love chicago more and more with every visit. on campus there are many clubs and sports to be a part of.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

rated #2 in illinois for best value, northwestern gives a ridiculously amazing educational experience that a price tag could not be placed on.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

there is a rock that often gets spray painted by various clubs that was once a fountain but since has become an object of expression and spirit. also, it has become a tradition to tape fliers to the ground in order to advertise events because where else do we tend to look while we walk but the ground in front of us?

Which types of students will excel at your college?

students who crave a fantastic academic experience and only allow excellence are fit for northwestern. but, of course, they should not take themselves too seriously, because northwestern offers a friendly and supportive environment.
