<p>I recently visited Northwestern and LOVED IT!!!! but there were no students, so i couldn't get the complete feel, and i was wondering how the social scene is at good ol' NU?</p>
<p>One of the great things about Northwestern is that it isn't just a single homogeneous clique. You really can find pretty much ANY niche you want at NU--I think the social scene's pretty darn good. Granted, there are a couple not-as-great parts, like most Evanston places closing up pretty early, and the dating scene could use some improvement, but overall you really can find <em>whatever</em> you want.</p>
<p>Piece of advice: meet as MANY people as possible during Wildcat Welcome; that'll give you a good base of friends to see where you feel like you'll fit in best, and you'll be fine. :)</p>
