[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NU is smaller & more manageable. Shorter walking distances, better housing options, better basketball team, easier to get to know professors, more scenic views, better Journalism dept. I’m not saying these are worth the extra money, but let’s stop pretending there are NO advantages to going to Northwestern. [/quote]

Good points.  On the beach too[/quote]

I can play this game as well too.  Housing options are worse in Evanston. Better hockey and football in Ann Arbor. Just as easy to get to know professors at Michigan.  Ann Arbor is also more pleasant than Evanston. Better Engineering college at Michigan. Let’s stop pretending there are no advantages going to Michigan.  [/quote]

As far as towns go…Ann Arbor isn’t that great.  It has a fun college vibe and enthusiastic student body, absolutely, but outside the college bubble is middle class suburb with no decent urban city near.  Evanston is a much nicer suburb, decent college vibe scene, and a quick trip to Chicago. [/quote]

Ann Arbor is usually listed among the ten best cities of its size in the US. It has its own decent urban city center.  I never see Evanston ranked nearly as high.  Furthermore, there are parts of Evanston that aren’t particularly safe, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue with you at all.  Ann Arbor doesn’t seem to have that problem.  Students are attending school within that college bubble. Once again, this isn’t about you or your perceptions of what makes a great college town. You’re a DCUM not a teenager.
