[quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman there. There's a mix of students (which seems intentional by the university, given the diversity of its colleges): the quieter cerebral engineering library types, the theater kids, the music kids, and the out 3+ nights a week type.

My DC falls into the latter category. Having a blast (probably too much fun). In Greek life, which is growing (not shrinking) - for both boys and girls. We've visited in the fall for parents' weekend and are planning to again next month for something. Met a lot of freshmen dorm friends who seem like a nice mix of gregarious, social, well-adjusted kids, but noticeably a lot of private HS kids (at least from whom I met in the fall). Very outgoing group who attended almost all home football games last fall (and now attends most home basketball games).

But I imagine there's also an entirely different cohort there, too, that I didn't meet. Don't think you can generalize about an entire class of 1900 students? I think that's part of NU's magic: creating that special mix.

The business club scene is competitive, but no more than at other schools. And my DC made it into one "competitive" club, so who really knows.

So far, DC gives it a 9 out of 10 for freshman year.[/quote]
