Ok,
where do I start? If I had had the
proper foresight I would have transferred the day I arrived.
First, if you are not lucky enough to be
placed in a semi-social dorm, you're screwed from the beginning.
The antisocial atmosphere at Northwestern sucks you in and
then sucks the life out of you. Then there
is the sorry excuse for Greek life....a bunch of wannabe
ivy leaguers pretending they belong to a Big Ten school.
And then there's the dating scene, or lack thereof.
You will find one of three guys as a
student at Northwestern: 1) someone who is so antisocial
he has probably never spoken to someone of the opposite
sex, 2) someone who is not even attracted to the
opposite sex, or 3) some tool of a guy who's
majoring in econ, plans to become and investment banker and
has nothing interesting to say besides “dude, i'm sooo wasted”.
But enough about the social scene. The university's primary
function is as a place of academia. Well, Northwestern
seems to be stuck somewhere in between a small liberal
arts college and a huge state school. While it
claims to have the reputation comparable to the former, the
feeling of being a faceless name in the crowd corresponds
more to the latter. With a positive degree of
certainty, I can say that not ONE professor would ever
recall that I attended his/her lecture for an hour a
day for nine weeks. And it wasn't as if
I am shy. The only two redeeming qualities I
can find in the university at which I wasted for
years of my precious youth are 1) the opportunity to
see a bunch of brilliantly talented performers before they hit
it big and 2) the proximity to one of the
greates cities in the world.
