a lot of the dorms themselves just don’t seem all that nice. I haven’t seen most dorms on NU’s campus, but the ones I’ve seen haven’t exactly impressed me. I know there are probably better dorms than the ones I’ve seen and heard about at NU, but on the whole I’m not exactly thrilled with the size and comfort of the ones I’ve seen (and I’ve gone to boarding school for 3 years; I know what dorms are like).



as anecdotal testimony, i went to a boarding school too, i think high school dorms are simply nicer than college dorms. Of the other colleges i’ve visited/attended northwestern has BY FAR the nicest dorms, and i mean by FAR FAR FAR.



I am more drawn to the north campus but if I have to pick 5 dorms, I’ll have to include Bobb and McCulloch,right in the middle of frat central. Aren’t those both big party dorms? Would I be able to study or would I have to leave and go to the library every night?



people in bobb mcculloch as a rule are louder and more social, yeah, but remember, they’re still northwestern students with 1400 SAT scores and straight As in high school, it’s not going to be animal house. the study lounges in the dorm will almost always be quiet, as will your room.

besides, i think if you putt bobb mcculloch 3rd or 4th down on your list, you probably won’t get it, anyway: it’s a popular dorm to live in.
