Northwestern University Top Questions

I do not brag about school, I get advice from friends about school, for instance in which direction should I go with a paper regarding poetry and the theme of the poem. I also talk to my friends about what topics I am learning about.

The location is great, in a small city (evanston) but with access to Chicago. Also, the academics and professors are impressive. Finally the opportunities are amazing. The school is a challenge, but surviving the NU workload is a great thing for when going into the business world.

The professors

The amount my school challenges me. There is not a day that I don't find myself working hard to solve a problem in class, or perfect a group project. Everyone in my school's community is so willing and ready to contribute their best to any activity.

The beautiful campus, quality of education, and generally energetic atmosphere.

I tell them about its prestige, and how it offers so many resources to its undergraduates that other schools may not have. It is also located in a wonderful area, and the allumni network is fantastic.

I tend to brag about the great mix of students that Northwestern has. We have students who are smart, athletic, funny, social, and just down right talented. Plus we have a pretty good football team and athletic program overall.

I brag about being on Lake Michigan, being close to Chicago, and my school being ranked 12th in the country.

Should I be bragging about my school? If I did, I would talk about how Northwestern makes it really easier to study in a variety of different fields, so you have a lot of options open from day one. Also, the film and theater programs are really excellent, providing a well rounded approach in lessons, providing hands-on experience while still engaging the academic aspects. The location right next to Chicago is perfect, our internship services are really effective, and it doesn't hurt that Stephen Colbert went here either.

I don't brag, but if I did, it would be about the high level of intellect I'm constantly surrounded by.
