Personally, I've loved my experience at Northwestern. It's all what you make of it though. Because of it's size there are abundant opportunities to get involved, make friends, and grow as a person. However, it's up to you to take initiative and go after those opportunities, from making the effort to get downtown to paving relationships with professors.

The engineering program is extremely dynamic allowing you to take up to 25% of your classes outside of McCormick, something I've definitely taken advantage of! Classes like EDC (Engineering Design) really push for you to pair creativity with engineering.

The students are friendly and critical thinkers meaning there's a lot of enlightening conversation going on around campus. Sometimes their drive and determination keeps us inside the library a few more nights a week than we'd wish but it'll make for an amazing career network down the road.find your niche and you'll find your home here.

The only downside to Northwestern is that the social life is not great that is true. Other than that this a world class university, especially academically. The faculty in any department for the most part a known-worldwide, and more importantly are easily accessible with many office hours scheduled during the week and even met with faculty at last minutes notice on Sunday before an exam! Your fellow students within the Honors programs and advanced classes will challenge you as well with their intellect.

Some of my cohorts have gone on to Princeton, Columbia, the University of Chicago, and Cornell for PhD programs. I myself am now a PhD student at Harvard.

I should note that many of these reviews are fake, some reviews mention NU being on "semesters"! Wrong we are on the quarter system, read some of the reviews yourself to discover the fakes who where probably rejected--poor bitter souls. On a last note dating at Northwestern sucks too, it is taken to two extremes. You will either meet your future spouse here or no one.Best of Luck in Your Future Endeavors
