Very happy campus filled with happy, classy, intelligent, and good-looking students.

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

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

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.

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.

It was a beautiful campus. I will probably go back for a visit when school's in session though, it was pretty quiet in august.

I thought it was fantastic. My son thought it was "okay."

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

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.

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

Just LOVED my visit. Seemed to combine all types of architecture, nature, and everything. No problems.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.
