[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good old posts on here. Maybe search?
About 1/3 of the incoming class is social and “normal” (makes eye contact, friendly, goes out 3x/week, Greek like (growing there like everywhere after BLM and abolish Greek life did a number on campus). These students skew wealthy, well-traveled and well-adjusted.

But it’s a pretty small chunk of the incoming class.[/quote]

this is incorrect - and bizarre. [/quote]

I have a student there. It is definitely accurate.

The Greek life there is growing or at least there’s growing demand (like every other school). It’s actually really small right now and not everyone can get a bid that wants one because they’re so few houses.

They have consultants on campus all the time to try and get more Greek houses. The sororities do mixers with the University of Chicago frats because they’re not enough Greek men at Northwestern. Weird, but it’s easy for them to meet up downtown.

All of the social kids hang out together (including for study abroad - they all pick the same location). Yes it can be cliquey but no more than other schools.

Great experience for my kid![/quote]

Which study abroad programs are these?  My kid is there and I’m sure your kids would classify her as a huge geek so she really would prefer to avoid that.  Thank you!  [/quote]

PP, my striving social child is in a clique like this, and your “huge geek” is literally unlikely to ever cross paths with this clique, in study abroad or elsewhere. They move as a pack. Your kid knows who they are. (Can you tell I wish it wasn’t this way?)[/quote]

I just would be really surprised if she knew who they were since she really doesn’t spend a lot of time focused on cliques that she’s not in.  Even if she did know who they are, how would she know what study abroad program they are all going on?  If there some study abroad program that they all go on, why won’t you just tell me?  How awful if she picks it by accident and then is ostracized for a quarter!  [/quote]
