[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like both schools very much, I think the student body is likely far more similar today with Northwestern becoming more “serious” and U of C less. [b]During our tour at Northwestern the guide mentioned all the swag they give trying to koio entice kids to attend the football games.  [/b]

You can't admit a student body that never attended a football game in high school (as they were too busy working at NIH or completing 8 internships) and then expect them to relax and be big sports fans in college.   :roll:  :roll:  This isn't rocket science.  [/quote]

The student football tickets at NU all sould out in minutes, with lines of kids waiting outside for general admission.

Is it Notre Dame or Alabama intensity?  Of course not.

But there are definitely plenty of kids at NU enjoying their college experience, including football.[/quote]

Don’t NU undergraduates get free admission to all sports events???[/quote]

Yes, but there's a lottery system of some sort for the football and basketball tickets.  You get points for going to other types of games, which then increases your chances in the lottery.  I don't fully understand it -- my kid is a freshman.  But it apparently helps increase attendance at some of the sports that are often not as well attended, which is nice as a school spirit thing.[/quote]
