<p>I agree with all the previous posters that NU location wins hands down. Ithaca is in the middle of nowhere. Once you leave the highway, its at least a half hour traveling through farmland to get to Ithaca. But then again, some people like living in an isolated area, not near any metropolitan center, so then if you like the country, then you will like Ithaca. But if you like the city, like to be able to be in an city in a half hour, like an upscale town (as Evanston is) then you will prefer NU. And its been in the 70’s and even 80’s recently, so NU has had some nice beach days.</p>
<p>You can find the party at any school, if that’s what you are looking for. For some reason, Monday night is a big party night at NU. (Monday is the new Thursday).</p>
