<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I've been accepted to both Washington University in St. Louis and Northwestern University for a Biology Major (pre-med), and am currently in a deep quandary over which school to attend. I've seen the other threads on CC about these two colleges, but none seem to fully address my questions.</p>
<p>I've visited both campuses and have loved them. My perceptions:</p>
<p>WUSTL:
-Slightly smaller school
-Majority undergrad (so maybe more research opportunities?)
-Excellent pre-professional advising
-Best food and dorms in the country</p>
<p>NU:
-Better overall reputation and name recognition
-Majority grad students (so maybe less research opportunities for undergrad?)
-Chicago!!
-Undergraduate Premedical Scholars Program</p>
<ol>
<li>Which school will allow undergraduates more opportunities to perform biological research?</li>
<li>Is Greek life at Northwestern overwhelming? I'm not interested in it, so will I feel pressure to rush?</li>
<li>Which school is stereotypically perceived as the more "nerdy" type?</li>
<li>I know Northwestern's chem program is phenomenal. But how is its biology major?</li>
<li>How would you characterize the social scene at WashU?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you so much guys! I really, really appreciate this. It means a lot. </p>
