<p>The racism I was picking up was :</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You just said, in effect, that all asians are studious and high academic achievers but don’t party much. You must see how that’s racist.</p>
<p>I guess I see how u can see that…Of course that was not the intent…</p>
<p>^The percentage of Asians at NU is roughtly the same or slightly lower than that at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, or Duke. It’s not unsually high among its peers. </p>
<p>By the way, among the, say, top-50 private schools, the ones with more Asians whose parents and culture tend to emphasize education tend to have more national, rather than regional, reputation.</p>

<p>I agree…</p>
<p>Classclown-- so NU rejected you, fine. You can go on believing BC and Tufts are on par with NU all you want, but I find it really unfortunate and concerning that you have to deceive yourself just so you can accept the reality of your situation.</p>
<p>A guy I’m dating graduated from BC…Go on defending these schools all you want, but they won’t have your back no matter what.</p>
<p>On another note, YES, the party scene is good. You can find something going on every night if you want to 
NU students like to have fun… a lot of fun–And if you’re in a sorority or frat here (decent ones, at least), your social life is basically set!</p>
<p>Wildkit, you hit the nail on the head! How did u know? lol…Don’t need to be “concerned” though. lol…</p>
<p>classclown,</p>
<p>This is FYI. I am not sure if you got a chance to look at those 3 links I posted on page 2. This is the last link to the campus recruting of the top four management consulting firms I mentioned. If I were you, I would pay more attention to these than what some random high schoolers think.

Type the other two schools you brought up; you will see same kind of difference again. [University</a> recruiting | Careers | McKinsey & Company](<a href=“http://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Apply/University_recruiting]University”>http://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Apply/University_recruiting)</p>
<p>I appreciate your continuous attempts to sell me Mr. Lee. I admire your passion and dedication. However, I am not swayed that NU is in the same class as the Ivies. After all, it is a Big Ten school…I suppose Williams College wouldn’t be in some of your lists either…but it is on par with the Ivies…Thanks…</p>
<p>“A guy I’m dating graduated from BC…”</p>
<p>U have good taste!!!</p>
<p>^Actually williams is on almost all of those lists :)</p>
<p>classclown,</p>
<p>If Williams isn’t on some of it, it just goes to show how NU is more highly regarded and awesome than you think because even Williams isn’t there while NU is. Similarly, I wouldn’t be surprised if couple Ivies are not on all four lists. You see that now? ;)</p>
<p>Sam Lee,</p>
<p>Refrain from using logic with him. It won’t work. You’re wasting your times albeit for a good cause.</p>
<p>The current president of NU left Williams in order to come to NU – seems like a pretty smart guy from what we’ve seen. Both are “purple” schools, incidentally.</p>
<p>So ummm, i didnt mean for this to turn into some giant debate. I shall clarify my original statement. For ME!!! BC and NU are about equal, for different reasons, on where i would like to go. I understand that NU’s academics and prestige are better, but I also have to keep in mind my personal opinion of each school, and for some reason i have always liked BC, since like 5th grade. However, when i visited BC the campus was dead (it was a saturday during the day though). This concerned me. Partying isnt extremely important to me, but i still want the full college experience, therefore i posted this question regarding NU’s party scene. Ultimately, it will most likely come down to money however.</p>
<p>Reading these posts, however, has been surprising to me. I can see that those who go to NU are VERY proud to attend there, and apparently so are those who go to Tufts…(although ill admit, being from Chicago I had never heard of it prior to applying to BC and reading about the Tufts EA Med school thing). What surprised me the most, unfortunately, was the way that the NU people attacked those of opposing opinions. I understand the value of heated debate, but at times it was over the top.</p>
<p>We attacked the one person. We’re nice when you make reasoned debate or don’t spout ignorant opinions and ignore objective metrics. It sounds like you’re doing this right- visit at admitted students day, see if they’re both right, and make your pick!</p>
<p>Attacking is now defined as providing substantial evidence that undermines his baseless claims? Come on.</p>
<p>If you think this is pretense, wait until you step foot in Boston.</p>
<p>BC is not even really compared to Georgetown, much less Notre Dame, and neither of those schools are really seen on par w/ NU academically - so this whole BC thing just foolishness.</p>
<p>As for the party scene at NU - there’s pretty much something happening 5-6 nights a week, altho the really big party nights are limited to 3-4 times a week.</p>
<p>It really depends on your specific social circle.</p>
<p>And while Boston is nice, it’s a bit small (after a while, you end up finding yourself at the same drinking holes); Chicago has a much larger and more varied bar scene.</p>
<p>Yes, BC doesn’t have a sex tool machinery apparatus class demonstration like NU so it can’t be as fun.</p>
