I thought I could SLACK in my college life after being a hectic monkey-plugging-calculator and hardworking student in Singapore. but to my shockingly shock I am not able to be a slacker, but a library 24/7er in freshmen first quarter. EA is worse.but everyone gets through this pain if you are in McCormick during freshmen year. because it's a MUST to take. Useful Schoolwork: A+, Extracurricular Activities: D+ Have a Question?

I think having sororities dominate the school is an enormous mistake; it basically creates an artificial in-group at a university too large to adopt high school dynamics on its own. I majored in Liberal Arts, and the Northwestern Job center cuts you off after a year-- so not so helpful post-graduation, either. Sure, some people look at 'Northwestern' and are impressed, so that counts for something... But overall I wish I'd gone to another school where 1) all the into-level classes were not weed-out classes. I wanted to EXPLORE possible interests before choosing a major, but I couldn't take risks at Northwestern given the difficulty of freshman-level classes and the need to keep my grades up for my back-up plan (law school) 2) NO SORORITIES OR FRATERNITIES. I can't emphasize this enough. Unless you're on a sports team, Greek, a theater/radio television film major, or a music major, you're pretty much screwed. This university has nothing to offer you by way of social life. I would have gone somewhere else. A thousand times over. Campus Aesthetics: A, Campus Maintenance: F Have a Question?

The clubs here are ridiculous. I have been to one or two meetings of random clubs, and each one pretends like they are CEOs in a giant corporation while they sit around a table acting all high and mighty. It's a joke. People take themselves WAYYYYYY to seriously, almost to the point where you can't take it anymore. I've always had tons of friends from all sorts of backgrounds, but since coming here I have found only a select few people who I can stand talking to. Sure, the people are smart, but if you can't talk to people and have no self confidence you aren't getting anywhere in life. People really look down on you if you aren't in greek life, as if you must be really lame. Some people wont even talk to me once they find out I am not involved in some stupid sorority. Looking at it is fun though. I'm comfortable enough to be able to just sit and laugh and people, for I know they are just living in a superficial life. Come to this school, make fun of it with me, and you'll have a good time. Just don't expect too much. Campus Maintenance: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?
