[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is a great city with a fun, laid back vibe. The lake is a great asset. [/quote]

Violent crime is fun and laid back, yes. [/quote]

A college student at Northwestern is very unlikely to be spending time in the Chicago neighborhoods where violent crime is an issue, unless he or she grew up (or has relatives living) there.

Many Northwestern kids move to downtown Chicago their junior and senior year and commute to Evanston on days they have class.[/quote]
This just isn't true. Downtown Chicago is actually really boring after 7PM. Certainly not a place college kids would want to live.[/quote]

I grew in the Chicago area and I have a lot of friends who went to Northwestern.  Maybe things have changed, but undergrads used to stay in Evanston even if they moved off campus (although a few may live in Northside neighborhoods).  Most grad students I know chose to live in various Northside neighborhoods since there is more to do and often the rent is cheaper.  Andersonville, Edgewater, Rodgers Park, and Ravenswood are popular.  None of these neighborhoods are much of a commute to Evanston either.  No one lives downtown.[/quote]
