[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know about academics. Talk to me about social life? Campus culture?

How is sorority rush? Esp at Vandy if not southern and blonde? Is it really socially competitive?

How would you describe the atmosphere at Northwestern for well adjusted social women? Is it a similar competitive vibe?

What do most people do on the weekends at both?

I can't speak to Vandy but two people in my family went to Northwestern.  They both were athletes, one was in a sorority.  One LOVED their time at Northwestern, one thought it was fine.  One was very social and loved having access to Chicago for internships.

BUT the one I know best doesn't think the alumni engagement is the best.  They have the big football game in the fall and constantly get asked for $, but feel it is lacking.  One attended a top Ivy for graduate school and the alumni network is so much better, more engaged, more helpful etc.

NU is on a quarter system so to some it seems busier.  Thus, that should also be a consideration.

Also, interesting people's experiences when visiting.  One family member talks about when they visited and the campus seemed "dead" but went there anyway.  They said their experience was nothing like when they visited and much more social.  I wonder why?! It to me circles back to the alumni engagement aspect.  Maybe they should do a better job picking the current students and alumni they have on panels and interacting with prospective students.  [/quote]
