[quote=Anonymous]We looked at both Northwestern and Vanderbilt. I don't know anything about UVA. For pre-med, I think they're both very good. You really can't go wrong. If it makes any difference, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center is next to campus whereas the Northwestern University Hospital is 30 miles away in Chicago. Vandy is a more urban school. NU is more suburban. I think the Vanderbilt campus is much nicer, but NU has the lake. The two schools seem to have similar caliber students, but the vibe at Vanderbilt seemed a lot warmer and friendlier. It definitely felt more social than NU. Both schools are a part of major sports conferences. And they both kind of suck at sports presently.

You should visit of course. Most students will sense what feels right. Nashville is a blue city in a red state and some might find that off-putting. Northwestern is freezing for much of the academic year. And it has a quarterly system, which is not for everyone. Chicago is a great city, but NU is not in Chicago. Evanston is... fine.

DS preferred Vanderbilt and attends there now. [/quote]
