<p>I'm interested in Northwestern, it's a great school from what I hear. I was wondering how close Northwestern is to Uchic. My boyfriend is seriously considering Uchic but I prefer Northwestern ;). I know I shouldn't base my college choices on his, I'm not completely, just a couple :D. So can students from both schools see each other like in a college town? Is this often done? And if so, is it through public transportation or friends' rides?</p>
<p>If you take public transportation, it takes over an hour to get from Evanston to Hyde Park. If you drive, the ride is about a half hour (depending on many things, of course).</p>
<p>You will be able to see each other, but the travel time could prove to be a bit much for some people…..</p>
<p>Northwestern and UC might be far but I'm sure you can manage. I know a friend at NU who is in a successful relationship with someone from Loyola University, granted Loyola's much closer to NU. Still, public transportation makes it work.</p>
<p>Agreed, access to UChicago isn't a problem--unless you catch the Purple Line when it's not running express... :(</p>
<p>uchicago and northwestern are close to each other in proximity, it's just travel that's difficult, you have to go into, and directly through, a major city.</p>
<p>ook thanks that's awesome</p>
