[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]30 miles away[/b] 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]

Northwestern hospital is only 12 miles away but it’ll take you at least 30 mins to get there, if that’s what you mean. But it’s not 30 miles away.[/quote]
