My host and his friends took me and other prospective students out to dinner. Students accommodated my needs and took time to answer my questions, even on their way to class. [View Full Report]

It was exam week. I'm not going to give a rating because I know that I'm not at my best right before finals either. [View Full Report]

I was absolutely amazed at how nice everyone was. Every single person I met shook my hand and said it was nice to meet me, and they treated me like a friend five seconds after I met them. [View Full Report]

Our guide was helpful and nice, but he was really pressed for time and didn't get to help us very much. [View Full Report]

Since school is not yet in session, we met very few students besides the tour guide. Though two were particularly helpful with restaurant suggestions. [View Full Report]

Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly, as expected from Midwestern hospitality. If anything, campus feel was TOO laid back... especially for someone used to hustle/bustle of northeast US [View Full Report]

I don't think friendliness could be judged just by looking at people, so keep this in mind while visiting (one of the girls I know might look like a b*tch, but she's actually really nice). [View Full Report]

I honestly only saw a few students, and that was in the cafeteria, so there is really nothing to base it off of. [View Full Report]

Our tour guide was very nice, and every fifth or so person that walked by was a friend of hers she knew from some club or something. [View Full Report]

A lot of the students were courteous, but they seemed more wrapped up in their own lives. I felt they were very social and busy. [View Full Report]

Especially in the student center, NU students were personable and intellectual, two things which I pride myself in being. They were all so eager to help and to persuade us all to adore NU. [View Full Report]

The kids didn't seem to mingle that much between classes. Hopefully it's different during the weekends or in the dorms. Is it? [View Full Report]

Tour guides and student panelists were amiable and expressed their true feelings. No one was afraid to give their opinion, and you instantly felt like you were part of the student body. [View Full Report]
