<p>I took a student tour at Northwestern (though I was the youngest one there), and it looked like a great school. If you're interested in a variety of classes, with most tending toward the smaller end based on college standards, I would highly recommend it. I wasn't personally a big fan of the setting, being right within a bustling town, but if you like activity, and the outstanding access to Chicago, make sure you give the school a look. What I found interesting was that not all of the athletics/sports fields were directly on-campus... I believe there was a bus taking students to a football field a mile or so away. The library looked gorgeous, but I wasn't a big fan of the dining area (it felt like the 70's with cheap wood panneling, etc.). Overall, "a pretty good school", in terms of acceptance rates, academics, and facilities.</p>
<p>I visited quite recently. Feel free to PM me.</p>
