<p>Hey wy06...what school do you go to?? (I'm from Chicago, too).</p>
<p>I go to whitney young, where do you go?</p>
<p>Coolness...I go to Northside Prep. Go Mustangs!! lol.</p>
<p>hehe, rivals. it'd be fun to meet the people in this board next year school year</p>
<p>Definitely! I'm so freakin' excited about meeting everyone...=)</p>
<p>does anyonne of you guys know whether northwestern students are known for partying or how common it is?
oh btw
i´m from germany and very excited about meeting all of you!</p>
<p>well, i know someone who went to northwestern. They said it's basically who you're with. You can have fun and not party, but if u want to party it's not hard to find.</p>
<p>magnetique- the residential college application isn't hugely selective... slivka and shepard are probably the "hardest" to get into, but if you list a res college as your first choice and you write a half-literate essay, you've got a 80-90% chance of getting in.</p>
<p>However, i'd recommend not putting anything in like "I want to go here cuz the rooms are big/you have practice rooms." Look at the dorm's website and comment on activities/traditions, etc.; that'll help you a lot. And using the word "diversity" gives you major buzz-word points almost anywhere at Northwestern... hehe.</p>

<p>^that's right on. Unless it's midterms week/the very end of reading week/finals week. Then partying reduces dramatically... I once was taking the shuttle from north campus to south campus at about 2am on the saturday night right before finals week... he commented on how on most weekends there are a bunch of people going back from frat parties, but students really crack down before exams; I was the only one on the bus, when it would normally be nearly full.</p>
<p>When it gets closer to september, we should plan a meeting place and time during new student week at NU :-D</p>
<p>Better yet, start a new club called The College Confidential Union.
Mission Statement: Waste time on the internet.</p>
<p>i'll be here at northwestern starting two weeks before new student week (and new student week, of course), since i'm CAing at CCS (that's the smallest res college that none of y'all are considering up on north campus beside sargent.</p>
<p>So you guys will be free to come visit me if you have any questions or need help or what not, hehe.</p>
<p>facebook group! :D like something like "I <3 CC"</p>
<p>How many people here already have a facebook?</p>
<p>I think everyone probably do.</p>
