Northwestern University Top Questions

NU is very open with regards to the diversity of student groups which is great, from racial, sexual to different categories. People do tend to dress up for class more than i noticed at the state school at home.

People here come from everywhere. A lot from NY and Cali and a bunch from IL. Large jewish student population. The African-American community is pretty segregated. There is a divide between the greek pop., the athletes, and loosely everyone else. Not to say there is much conflict here; everyone takes school at least semi-seriously.

Coming to Northwestern I looked forward to having a diverse group of friends with different political, religious, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds, but a lot of my friends are white and from wealthy suburbs outside major cities.

there are a lof of asian people here. most of whom i don't see outside of my classes in tech. we're predominantly liberal. most of the black students are athletes.

Students are very liberal

Very rich for the most part, large Jewish and Asian populations but the Latino and Black populations are just average, or lacking for an area like Chicago. Different students interact through student groups and classes.

Socially inept all around. 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} never leave the library. 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Asian or Indian. Of the 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} that are Greek, there are maybe 50 kids who actually belong there. The rest are nerds that want to believe they're cool. Most kids are apolitical and rich. Picture the annoying kid that sits in the front of class in high school who always answers teacher's rhetorical questions. Now multiply them by 40. Add a few asians who never say anything, 3 athletes in their typical grey sweat suits, and 10 greek kids who walked in late and sit together. Welcome to class at NU.

Though diverse on paper, Northwestern is more homogenous than what stats will say. The school is predominantly white, middle to upper class. There are many groups of students that tend to stick together, particularly athletes. The good news is that all groups of people are tolerated and respected. That is, no one feels out of place for sexual preference, race, religion, or other beliefs. Most students are oblivious to what is going on in the "real" world. Though pretty liberal, Northwestern is more "centered" than comparative East coast higher institutions of learning.

At a school like Northwestern, where the female population is not generally attractive (as stated earlier), it's important that there are more females than males. This way, the males at Northwestern have a larger pool to choose from, which compensates for the quality of the fish creatures in that pool. The administration knows this, which is why they accept more females than males, despite the fact that males are generally more qualified and awesome. So, the Administration is obviously adjusting its student body to cater to the needs of men. As an attractive male, I benefit from this more than anyone. Still, I don't approve of the administration's policy. I believe acceptance into the school should be based solely on academics and extracurriculars in high school, and not gender, or race, or religion, etc. Shame on you for your prejudices, administration.

it is pretty homogenous here especially when it comes to socioeconomic status
