Show them the US News rankings if that will impress them and they will see that NU is ranked higher than Cornell. Having friends and family in NYC doesn’t mean that you will get to see them on any sort of regular basis. Ithaca is a 4 hour drive from NYC, not right around the corner. Being just outside Chicago is a huge advantage for NU students. Also, NU has a great theatre and music scene which you may enjoy. They both have lousy winter weather, so they should cancel each other out on that front. I think that your instinct about NU being more fun than Cornell is probably “spot on,” but they are both great schools, so I don’t think you can go wrong.
