[quote=Anonymous]Same school, but different locations.

Flip a coin. If unhappy with the result, then you know the answer.

Very easy to switch schools and majors at Northwestern. Is SESP (School of Education & Social Policy) at Northwestern of interest to you ?

Both are located in or adjacent to great cities, however Northwestern's suburban location is safer than Penn's location in Philly.

Same level of prestige (with respect to study in the liberal arts) unless enrolled at Wharton or unless pursuing SESP/Journalism/Theater/Radio-TV-Film/Music/Education (SESP) at NU.

Lots of small classes at Northwestern. More classes of fewer than 20 students at NU than at almost all top rated LACs.

Northwestern University is on the quarter system for academics. Students usually take 4 courses per 10 week term versus Penn's 5 courses per 15 week semester. No wasted time academically at Northwestern due to the fast moving quarter system which allows students to take & explore more courses per year than under Penn's semester system.

Penn is in the Ivy League for athletics, while Northwestern competes in the Big Ten Conference--which consists of 18 teams.[/quote]
