They had me with the lake view. Anything else is just icing on the cake. [View Full Report]

Northwestern is a great school all-around, as I learned from the short time I was on campus. [View Full Report]

The campus was gorgeous, and the professor I spoke to was very willing to help. As for the tour, I really felt like they were trying to push through as many people as possible. [View Full Report]

It was a beautiful day on a beautiful campus. My only concern would be walking from North campus to South during the winter.; the wind off the lake must be brutal. [View Full Report]

i liked it... the impression that it was too sporty and too influenced by its big 10 status was proved not to be true.. thank god!... or at least not as true as i thought. [View Full Report]

It wasn't my type of area, but if you like the suburban feel, it's the perfect setting for you. In my opinion, there was a dearth of energy on/around campus... even on a nice, late-April day [View Full Report]

The campus' location and components really impressed me, especially the lakefill and the indoor tennis facility. I was very surprised by NU's great location and urban but not-so-urban feel. [View Full Report]

I truly liked it, BUT, it was too cold for me, and I didn't get the 100% "I belong here" feel. [View Full Report]

I love how it is right on lake michigan. however, the cold concrete building feel took a little bit of the college feel away. [View Full Report]

I liked it a lot. It's very welcoming. More research university like than the liberal arts education they promote. Didn't get a strong sense of academia like some east coast schools. [View Full Report]

Of all the campuses I've visited, Northwestern's is the biggest and most beautiful. There is a running track by the water on the edge of the school with a view of the Chicago skyline. [View Full Report]

It was nice, but not AMAZING. We didn't really walk along lake Michigan but the part that I saw was my favorite part of the campus [View Full Report]

I think that if you like to play frisbee, laze around on the beach, or go for a bit of shopping, evanston is for you. the campus looked very nice for a big ten school; exceeded my expectations. [View Full Report]

I wasn't even that interested in NU before visiting, but now I think it's one of my top choices. [View Full Report]

Just LOVED my visit. Seemed to combine all types of architecture, nature, and everything. No problems. [View Full Report]

I really enjoyed my visit and that is why I am going to NU in the fall. I was amazed at how balanced the campus was and nothing was really lacking. I urge everyone to visit. [View Full Report]

Bigger than I expected, but not too spread out. Not the best campus I've seen, but very pretty in its own way. [View Full Report]

I thought I would have loved NU. The location, the beautiful campus, the prestige... but when I was there I just didn't really get the feeling that I fit. [View Full Report]

Even if NU weren't a stellar liberal arts school, I'd be inclined to attend just because of the campus! I love the campus! [View Full Report]

it seems nice. Are the students all nerds or are they smart and friendly? Any fun to be had on campus? [View Full Report]

No sweeping greens or quads with gothic arch like most top-notch east coast schools. Yet after visiting, I almost didn't care about that. The atmosphere is like nothing I have ever felt before - academic, cosmopolitan and homey. [View Full Report]
