Not true...[/quote]

Evidence? I mean, there’s nothing wrong with being smart and middle of the road. [/quote]

What is the evidence for "Northwestern has always had the reputation for being for smart, but kinda boring kids. The sort of kids who would find Evanston interesting"?[/quote]

I’m not saying it’s fact. I’m saying it’s the rep it’s had, in my experience.

I went to a prep school and saw lots of kids who went there. I went to UChicago, where I met more Northwestern kids.

My husband has worked in higher ed tech for 15 years and has done business with Northwestern.[/quote]

So this is your opinion. I agree Northwestern has always had the reputation of having smart kids, but disagree with labeling them "kinda boring." I'm from the area where the top 5% of kids regularly attended Northwestern. None of my friends were hanging out in Evanston. They were either on campus or in the city. I had the choice of NU and U Chicago, but chose to go east. It sounds like you have beef with NU bc you went to U Chicago. :D [/quote]

To add, I personally love U Chicago, so it's not a knock on the school. It's only recently that U Chicago has risen in popularity. Most always, between NU and Chicago, kids picked NU. [/quote]
