<p>can anyone compare these three schools based on </p>
<li>academic prestige</li>
<li>grad placement for business and science</li>
<li>strength of business and physical science programs</li>
<li>social scene</li>
<li>fraternity life
…and anything else you can think of…
(insight from student at these universities would be great!)</li>
</ol>
<p>i have searched for this allready so if you tell me to stop being lazy and use the search box i will come out of your computer and tackle you…no seriously though i would like some more info…</p>
<p>yeah, drop rice from this list....</p>

<li><p>it is between uva and northwestern. northwestern is just a little bit (but not noticeably) tougher than UVA, however, I would not see any difference in terms of rigor. northwestern is slightly more prestigious.</p></li>
<li><p>uva would give you better grad placement. it is hard to get A's at UVA, but not as hard as northwestern. you stand a better chance of sticking out at UVA. I am not just saying this, it is true. I have a friend from NWU and his GPA is 2.8. Mine is 3.5. I will beat him on grad admissions.</p></li>
<li><p>That said, UVA is better for business (our commerce school is 2nd to Wharton at UPenn), NWU better for science</p></li>
<li><p>Both kick ass in social scence</p></li>
<li><p>UVA all the way--- we were the inspiration for the show GREEK on abc family</p></li>
