Just a few questions for current Northwestern students -


I hear the quarter schedule makes the academic environment much more tense. Agree/disagree? Does the tension, if it exists, manifest itself in its students and contribute to negative feelings? Or do they bond under pressure to help each other study?
Is Northwestern the right place for a student who has no idea what he/she wants to major in? Any thoughts on the liberal arts college, and generally how pre-professional/career oriented are the students?
I know it’s been discussed that Northwestern is pretty safe if you’re smart about it. How accessible and present is campus security in the school environment though?


Thanks!
