At Northwestern, you'll spend plenty of time throwing yourself into your schoolwork. But once you get past that, it's not all about the papers and exams here—you'll see that you'll be able to kick back and have some fun, too. If you were chosen by Admissions to get into NU, then you definitely have enough skills to get through all the work and still find the fun at the end of the tunnel. The percentage of Northwestern freshmen who return for their sophomore year is very high, hovering near 100 percent on a consistent basis—and this is one of those cases where the numbers pretty much speak for themselves. At NU, students find plenty to complain about—bad weather, tough classes, insensitive professors, and lack of sleep are probably common places to start—but at the end of the day, everyone chose this school for a reason, and that because it's one of the best in the country. Don't get it twisted—no school is perfect, and neither is Northwestern—but there's also plenty to appreciate here. Northwestern University Student ReviewsWhat's This?Filter:

Expensive
D
The financial aid isn't very negotiable. I was given a package and it's still very difficult for me to afford school and I've had to take out massive personal loans and the school won't really do anything to help me out. |

Close Proximity
A
Northwestern is located within Evanston and everything is fairly close to everything else. It's not hugely sprawling or spread out like some other campuses. This allows for students to interact with each other more and gives the campus a nice 'homey' feel. |

Downtown Evanston
A-
There are a number of places I eat at south of campus in downtown Evanston. Whenever I go out to eat I always head south of campus where I can find convenience at a number of fast food places, Burger King, is famous around here for being open 24/7 and is probably your only option at 4am. There are also nicer sit down places, Giordano's is a great pizza place and gives a student discount. There's several other larger chains which have decent prices and usually give a student discount and then there are a few places unique to Evanston. Clark's is a good example which is conveniently located on Clark street just south of campus and you can get pretty good food at cheap prices and they have a great variety. |
