| Agree with Alexandre. Academic peers except for specialized programs (Wharton at Penn, Medill (journalism)/Music/Theater/SESP at Northwestern - engineering is for another discussion). Settings are very different. Northwestern has a great campus with very safe environs. Penn has a great campus with a "watch your back" understanding. Chicago probably trumps Philadelphia in almost every way other than weather. Big Ten sports vs. Ivy League moniker. Some difference in Midwest vs. East Coast mentality/pace/attitude.
Agree you need to visit. Go where the fit suits you best. |
