<p>I've heard a lot about this school and I really want to learn more about it, but from a different perspective instead of the viewbooks/website. What is it strong in? What are the students like? What's the overall attitude there? How does it compare to other schools? Thanks for all of your help!</p>
<p>ok, i just registered because i feel like i can add some advice on anyone thinking about northwestern. I am a freshman this year at NW. </p>
<p>Northwestern is strong in about everything. It is a truly powerhouse school. Its got a world famous school in journalism and music, but also has a tremendous business school, medical school, and undergraduate arts and sciences program. Whatever you are interested in I bet northwestern has it, and I bet its top notch. </p>
<p>The overall attitude i find to be upbeat and happy, despite the heavy workload, which is managable, but heavy. I live on the north side, (the social, preppy, party side). EVeryone up there works very hard but when it comes time to unwind they do so in fine fashion. The frats are a ton of fun and being a part of Big Ten athletics makes it even better. The party seen DOES exist! I have been to some pretty awesome parties that would hold their own against any school. You have too look for it, but its there for you if you want. Also, Chicago is an amazing city and mostly everyone takes full advantage of it. </p>
<p>The students are some of the nicest, most interesting people ive ever met. I've only been there 3 months and ive already met some of the brigthest, motivated, and fun people i've ever met. </p>
<p>Overall I love the school and hope you seriously consider it. Anymore questions and I'll be happy to answer them.</p>
