[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps you’re confusing UChicago with Northwestern as UChicago overshadows Northwestern in econ and pretty much everything else[/quote]

UChicago can be better than NU and I can still reccomend NU over WUSTL and Vandy. Not mutually exclusive.

Plus, every ranking besides USNews ranks NU above UChicago, and I know far more kids who want to go to NU than Uchicago. Where fun goes to die. [/quote]

Not sure that’s a completely fair assessment. UChicago has a tough core curriculum for sure. It is rigorous and better known than NU. Perhaps those who cannot handle such rigor and want to be in Chicago go to Northwestern [/quote]

lmao kids who want to have a good time while getting the same job post-grad go to Northwestern over UChicago[/quote]

As well as kids who want to do music, theater, engineering, etc. go to Northwestern.  People who want to live in an area where they can go out after dark (and heck even during the day) and not constantly worry about their safety go to NU.  
In reality, each school has a very different feel....people should pick what appeals most to them (if they actually got into both).  In my experience, the people applying to UChicago and NU are very different style of students. [/quote]

If I was comfortable with the Quarter System, I would go with Northwestern. That said, WUSTL is basically in Bethesda, it is a pretty darned safe area of St Louis. Howver, given broader political conditions, I am not sure I would want to attend a school in either Missouri or Tennessee as both are basically MAGA land.[/quote]

Plus, NU is the best option anyway.

Meh. Overly liberal Chicago is getting worse in terms of safety and other factors, made worse by the current mayor[/quote]

Northwestern is in super safe Evanston, so no worries.[/quote]

On what planet is Evanston, “super safe?”  Get real![/quote]

It really is very safe in the area near Northwestern's campus.[/quote]
