[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwestern for me. I just feel like it offers the best of a lot of different aspects of the college experience that I loved. The rah-rah sports culture is there if you want it, it has that lovely East Coast-y liberal arts college vibe among some of its constituent schools, it has the prestige, the vibrant arts, the proximity to the big city.

Granted, a lot of friends I made in my adult life post-college ended up being Northwestern grads out of coincidence, and they all talk about their college experience fondly. So my thinking is probably colored by my friends.[/quote]

Are we the same person? I also fell into a group of friends who all went to Northwestern (I’m one of like two in the friend group that didn’t go to Northwestern with them), and they’re all such great, friendly, smart, accomplished people, and they all seem like they had such a great time together in school. I liked my alma mater, but I do sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I’d gone to Northwestern. Seems like such a magical place.[/quote]

Spent some time visiting a friend at Northwestern and the main negatives seemed to be a lot of cut-throat pre-professionals and not as many seriously intellectual students as you’d find at most Ivies or a top SLAC.  The campus, beach, location, and access to Chicago were very nice. [/quote]

The Northwestern grads I know are plenty intellectual and politically engaged, well-read, etc. I do think they read a bit more socially “normal” though. But that’s a positive in my book.[/quote]
