I learned the value of study later when I went to grad school at NU. Coop makes it special but NU is not for everyone. If you want a large cheering student body at sports events this place is not for you. This is a pragmatic and rewarding place for those who desire to be self reliant.NU students are a busy lot with much to do.They are not in a protected shell at NU. The student exists, after the frosh year ,with one foot in the real world and the other on campus but the real world pulls harder. The 5 years goes by with alacrity.It is not 'Disney' more like a battlefield simulation.Only grownups survive, children leave or flunk out and they do flunk out.

Through their co-op program i was able to work in a law firm for a year and really decide if I wanted to continue with my dream of going to law school. Additionally, I STILL work at my co-op job and it has helped me network in the legal community. The experience gained by co-op is unbeatable.

I'm actually not yet attending NU, but I will be there next year as a Finance major. I have talked to SOOO many current students there that I could probably give a decent presentation on the overall outlook of the school. First of all, the school is gaining more and more recognition every year (believe me I've followed it for a couple years). I'm from Seattle, and just from what I read about the school I knew I wanted to go there, and once I visited, it was a for sure thing. It really is a campus within a city, a rare find. The school was recently rated the 2nd safest school in the country by Readers Digest, which is a surprise because its in the city. The Co-op is usually the main draw to this school, as it should be. I have a friend who is a sophomore there, and he is getting $500 per week at HIS FIRST CO-OP. Granted, he is a business major, which is supposedly the best co-op (along with engineering and criminal justice). I've visited three times, went to the "Early Action Welcome Days" in the winter, and also visited in the summer, so I got to see both exremes. It was snowing hard in the winter, but the city knows how to handle its snow so it wasn't annoying whatsoever. The summer is pretty humid, but it feels great after bearing the winter there. I'm looking forward to the extreme weather actually, rather than the constant rain in Seattle. I really do know a lot about the school its rankings, what students say, the best freshman dorms, etc. So respond to this if you want to know more. CHOOSE NU!
