 " I honestly can't see enough great things about Northwestern. This university truly has it all, and has kind, engaging and passionate students to boot. The faculty are incredible and clearly at the tops of their fields, and advising (at least in the school I was in) was first-class. Oh and the campus is a BEAUT. "

 " Northwestern is very close to Chicago and has a beautiful campus. The people are amazing and the facilities are top notch. Evanston was a little sleepy at times but I always look forward to tailgates and nights in the local bars/restaurants! "

 " Northwestern offers the best of all worlds�top-tier academics, a beautiful lakefront campus, Big Ten sports, and an active social scene. It�s just a train ride from downtown Chicago, which adds to the experience. My classroom connections helped open doors in the media industry. "

 " I love Northwestern and I feel like I really belong here and I love the work I've been able to do. My favorite part has been doing research, but I also really enjoy the atmosphere around athletics. Plus, it's so close to Chicago, so there is always something to do. "
