Northwestern University Top Questions

Highly stimulating people who are here to learn while trying not to freeze.

Amazing

Northwestern is a place were you learn a lot about yourself, others and society in a much different way than you'd expect; the division on this campus seems to take you out of the bubble that is Northwestern and make you really think about the social issues it reflects which is something you can't really learn in a classroom.

Our school looks like a wealthy neighborhood. It is quaint, but very busy because it is a college.

Gorgeous Lake Michigan is alongside the whole campus, lined by rocks that have been painted by students over the years, behind the rocks is a grassy mass of land called "the Lakefill" where students do pamphlet-worthy things like play frisbee, study on the grass, suntan, and hang out. The buildings are eclectic, ranging from the uber-modern to really old and kind of gothic. There are nice purple flower populated gardens, lots of trees, very wide pathways and sidewalks--it's a very good-looking school, especially in the sun (not so much in the freezing rain). It's big, but it's not huge.

Our campus is GORGEOUS. As a freshman, I can't tell you what it's like in the spring, but I hear it's beautiful. I can tell you that the fall was amazing. It was too beautiful to stay inside. Incredibly sunny, weather in the 60s, light breezes, and with the lake...it was breathtaking.

Northwestern is beautiful. We're right on Lake Michigan, and if you stand on the beach, you can see Chicago. We have lots of trees and purple/fuchsia/lavender flowers on campus, and some really cool Hogwarts-like buildings like Deering Library. Right now we have some construction in the middle of campus, which kind of bites, but it's still really pretty, and Evanston is cute all by itself. We also have a thing for big rocks. Especially if we can paint them or put meaningless plaques on them.

Northwestern is diversity at it's best; a true melting pot of students from all over the world all coming to one place to pursue an education.

Medium-sized, academically rigorous, fast-paced school that will keep you working until late in the night most nights.

Northwestern University gives the opportunity and resources for students to make dreams come true may that be researching under a faculty, starting a business from scratch, going abroad to study, or even creating one's own patent should his/her research come to fruition.
