I really loved this class! Although his class was about four hours long I never got bored because of how passionately Curtis talks about his subject. ...

Pretty interesting class. It's mandatory for a film major. If you're looking for an easy distro, you're in the wrong class. You learn a lot about medi...

The location is nice due to the proximity to Chicago, but Evanston itself is pretty boring. You feel like you really need to compete with other students for the opportunities available and pretty much everything else. Facilities aren't great, food is heinous, and there's nothing really fun going-out wise on campus.

Excellent teacher. He simplifies everything and you actually get it. One of the only classes I truly enjoy going to. The things I learned in this clas...

Don't get me wrong, i'm happy I go to NU, but as an engineer I feel like I can either be happy and have a social life. I'm trying to do both and failing and am generally unhappy.

If you were the smartest kid in your high school, be in for a rude awakening. We have some of the smartest, most driven students in the world. Evanston is a nice area but after a few years here, it gets a bit boring. I would guess the same can be said for any other location. Don't be afraid to switch up your food routine. We have lots of options.

Northwestern is such a special place with the best people in the world. It's rigorous and challenging but your friends and faculty are always very helpful. There is always something to do and you will make life-long friends

Great campus and friendly students when it's pleasant outside

Very competitive

The campus is gorgeous, like a living, breathing postcard. The location is fantastic, just outside of Chicago, so you get a great campus atmosphere with the perks of a big city. The reputation is well earned, it's incredibly difficult to get in and it is very academically challenging. I love it so, so, so much here.

Don't miss sunrise over the lake...especially in winter when it ices over. It's spectacular.

Very competitive academically but a great school with a beautiful campus. Very classy but the weather can be rough in the winter.

WOULDN'T BE ANYWHERE ELSE

When I went here the school was very athletics-focused and academics took a back seat. That being said, you will make great connections here, but honestly people are very competitive so watch out. Evanston ain't Chicago, so don't expect much location-wise. Also the school is more respected by the public than by academia. It has a lot to live up to.
