I have two friends who are Classics majors and they're both really into it -- one just does Latin and the other will do both Latin and ancient Greek. They're both happy. I also know a professor in the department who teaches ancient Greek (he's one of my residential college's fellows), and he's really awesome.
That's all I know. As far as I know, it's a good program.
When I was attending Northwestern, the Classics dept was small but gradally hired more tenure-track faculty in the dept. I took Latin my freshman year. There were many students interested in it. They hold events and visiting lectures annually. It's not the best dept in the country but it won't be eliminated like USC did to German.
I cannot offer any insight regarding the classics program at Northwestern, but some other schools to consider for classics study are Princeton University & St. Johns College--which has two interchangeable locations in Santa Fe, New Mexico & Annapolis, Maryland.
