Campus Visit Notes for Northwestern University


Visit Description:

Compared to the other schools I visited on my trip, Northwestern did the least to make me and the other visitors feel welcomed. No packet or information, just sort of checked off our names and directed us to the information session which was nothing particularly exciting or helpful. I thought they acted like their name was enough to get people interested, why should they go out of their way to convince you. I thought they were pretentious and didn't get a good vibe.
