<p>Again, yes- if you talk to them. The student:faculty ratio is actually very low, around 7:1. And the number of grad students on campus has almost no effect on undergraduate life. The law and med students are on the Chicago Campus, grad students are your TAs, and Kellogg students never venture away from the Kellogg building or the Allen Center. NU is a mid-size, not a large, university. UPenn is borderline large, and Duke is borderline small, though both are still classified as mid-size.</p>
<p>I’m very close with a few of my professors, either from being in special programs (which, if any interest you, I highly recommend), or just talking to them or striking a raport. I have coffee with a few of them on occasion just to catch up.</p>
<p>I forgot to answer: Frat houses are all at the very north end of campus. They surround Slivka. Most are in quads along sheridan road. In short, all the empty space around that seeming grid of black dots at the north end of campus.</p>

<p>Freshmen in their fall quarters cannot, and there are GPA requirements/ approval necessary. As a freshman you must have a 3.5 (that is, you must get a 3.5 in fall) to take an overload in winter. More than 5 requires special permission, but is definitely done</p>
