<p>Congratulations all!
NU is a great place to be so good luck next year!</p>
<p>But I hope you all do know the winters here are brutal.....
I'm not sure if I'll make it through winter quarter at this rate brrr.</p>
<p>Thanks, gd!</p>
<p>I've actually been living in the Chicago area for a while, so I know how cold it gets. But to those coming from out-of-state, brace yourselves! Remember... earmuffs are very important because of the windchill.</p>
<p>It really is, I'm from Evanston and I'm still not used to it. It snowed around five inches last night, yuck...</p>
<p>I just talked to housing about applying and they said even if you don't have your northwestern email yet send an email to <a href="mailto:housing@northwestern.edu">housing@northwestern.edu</a> and they will send you some link. It took me like five minutes to fill out. Just passing along the info.</p>
<p>We really all should do something, anyone worried about meeting people, email me. I'm so excited!!!</p>
<p>Yep, for sure. I'm really excited as well!</p>
<p>Hey you guys, I'm finally on the Northwestern network!</p>
<p>Whew. I guess mail takes longer to get out to the east coast than midwest.
I heard back today (Friday).
Believe me when I saw all of you guys getting the packages, I got really scared.
Anyway. Congrats to whomever got in, and regrets to everyone who unfortunately didn't.</p>
<p>hey all accepted students, I invite you to join "Northwestern University Transfers 2008" on Facebook!</p>
<p>The winters are brutal here, that wind just gets ya! Haha, I love it. And NU's on the lake, it's even worse. Gotta love that stinging cold!
I'm luck I survived driving through that snow last night!</p>
<p>Is it more competitive to apply as an economics major? What about as a sophmore?</p>

<p>I didn't apply to NU, but im wondering, is it even humanly possible to survive in 9 degree temperature? Here in the south, we are at 60 degrees and I have never experienced anything below 45.</p>
<p>What's bad is the wind in Chicago. I can usually stand the below-freezing temperatures, but the wind chill in unbearable. Just last night I dreaded having to walk to my car in the freezing wind and snow. But I do like the contrast in seasons that Chicago has to offer. I think I'd be bored if it was sunny and hot EVERYday. Plus we appreciate the warmer destinations much more.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I am planning to apply to Northwestern for fall 2008..Any pointers?</p>

<p>I came from Hong Kong, which is warmer than the south this time of the year and I survived Chicago winter with no problem.</p>
