 " 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. "

 " Overall, I am satisfied with my choice of attending this university. The best parts about this university are the amount of resources available to you as well as the location. The worst part, in my opinion, is the weather in Evanston. I would recommend attending. "

 " Loved my time here; Evanston and Chicago are both great. School could be stressful and I was not impressed with the mental health care offered, but those were the only cons. My classmates and professors were amazing. I became a better person due to the challenging work, and Northwestern always sticks out to hiring managers on my resume. "
