[quote=Anonymous]Several of my family members and acquaintances went to Northwestern, and they are overwhelmingly positive about their college experiences. They have all done well career-wise and are kind, smart, down-to-earth people. NU's location along Lake Michigan is beautiful, and the university has a sailing club. There are some lovely beaches in the area. You're close to the lakes and forests of Wisconsin if you want a weekend away from Evanston. It's nice to have Chicago on your doorstep. I've seen some criticism of Chicago here, but the city has charm, along with world-class museums, cultural and sporting events, and restaurants. NU retains a "Midwest nice" vibe. For what it's worth, USNWR rates NU #9 among National Universities, tied with Brown and Johns Hopkins and just ahead of Columbia and U of Chicago (NU and U of Chi are almost certainly underrated as they're in the Midwest). If you're interested in NU, U of Chicago might also be worth a look. I prefer the NU location, but U of Chicago is also lovely and is renowned for its academics. [/quote]
