<p>Hello. I'm looking to study chemistry with either mathematics, physics, or classics on the side. I do not wish to go to med school; grad school would be cool with me. So, I know the academics at both schools are great. At this point, it really just comes down to where I'd have a social life and a good time. Any input?</p>
<p>My suggestion is to visit both campuses. </p>
<p>In addition, definitely look at the practical aspects like the cost of travel and time to and from the campus to home. Here are the dichotomies I would note:</p>
<p>Bigger vs. smaller (NW = 6,100 vs. JHU = 4,400)
Suburban vs. City (Evanston vs. Baltimore)
Midwest vs. East Coast</p>
<p>Both schools are going to prepare you well so I suggest visiting - once you set foot on both of the campuses you’ll know which is best for you.</p>

<p>Don’t think of NU as suburban because chicagoo is only a short ride away and is by far a better city than Baltimore. Look to see were you can get the most/best undergrad research experiences because that will really help you get into grad school, as well as a high gpa of course.</p>
<p>nu - good combination of academics, athletics, and great city – if you don’t mind the winter.</p>
<p>jhu. You get two cities for the price of one. DC is just a “short ride away” too.
Also, JHU consistently encourages students to research, leading to nearly 80%+ of the student body participating in some research project of their own during undergrad at JHU.</p>
<p>Also, JHU has less of a greek life emphasis than NU, which has many cliques and activities dominated around it’s 40% encompassing Greek Life system. </p>
<p>At the undergrad level, the programs at both of these schools are relatively the same. However, JHU affords you a smaller student body. Also, JHU is constantly getting better and better each year!!!</p>
<p>Make sure to visit both schools. They are both phenomenal.</p>
<p>Social lives?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that northwestern feels separated by north campus and south campus and have seen that mostly the minorities stick together and form friends within their ethnic groups.</p>
<p>Thanks, guys!</p>
