What impressed you positively?

The facilities are superb at Northwestern. The main hospital, research labs, lecture hall, etc. were incredible. The location of the school in the heart of downtown Chicago is also great. Cultural opportunities are abound. Students are Northwestern are a diverse crowd and bring a wide range of experiences to each class.

What impressed you negatively?

The extremely cold and windy weather and the overall cost of attending Northwestern certainly stood out as negatives. I also found the flexibility of the program to be a little odd. There is only 2 hours of lecture a day, and many students skip class regularly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more about the curriculum, particularly the extensive humanities program Northwestern has.

What are your general comments?

I had a great interview experience, and with some adjustment, I could see myself attending school there and enjoying it.
