SDN, the Northwestern website

What impressed you positively?

What didn't? The location is probably better then any school in the country, in the best part of Chicago, which is a great city. The students seem happy, the facilities are top-rate, the student dorm, despite some horror stories I heard, is fine- not great, but nothing to sneeze at either.

What impressed you negatively?

It is an expensive school

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Fantastic. As an East-coaster, I was leery about going so far from home, but Northwestern is now one of my top choices. The school really seems to care about the students, and they all seemed happy to be there. And don't worry about the panel interview, it was really interesting, almost fun. I tried to include as many questions as I could remember below, both mine and the other interviewees.
