^It's true when it's compared to places in michigan and the northeast, not just upper midwest.

No, I'm not.

Here are the annual snowfall stats for Chicago in contrast w/ cities that are really in the "snowbelt".

Up to 2002

CHICAGO,IL 38.5

BOSTON, MA 42.2

CONCORD, NH 63.8

SYRACUSE, NY 115.6

BUFFALO, NY 93.6

CLEVELAND, OH 56.9

Chicago doesn't get the "lake-effect" snow or the nor'easters that the mid-Atlantic/NE states do.

Since 1980 - Chicago has only had 5 storms which produced more than 10" of snow (NYC probably has had that amount within the past 7-8 yrs.).

It just seems like it snows a lot - since once it snows, it tends to remain on the ground for a while.

I've been seeing my girlfriend since New Student Week.

Don't believe the hype.

"A possible weakness for some students may be that the summer quarter is limited to visiting students or Northwestern students who need certain courses to graduate on time with their class."

This isn't true. Any Northwestern student can take summer classes. (I should know, I teach here, including in the summer.)

Here's what we're offering this year:

I've heard that NU girls are generally more attractive than the guys, but that's not a "weakness" for you (thread originator) or long-term relationships that start there, according to Why handsome men make bad husbands II | Psychology Today Blogs

- basic claim is that couples stay together more often when the female is judged to be better-looking than her counterpart.

Just FYI
