<p>As a recent admit at NU, I barely even considered applying to UChicago. They didn’t have any undergrad majors that suited me, and I live in the area. I swear that on a beautiful day, that campus has a way of seeming gloomy. NU has a great combination of Big 10 school spirit and Ivy League-level education. My friends that applied to UChicago were kind of split. Some really enjoyed the idea of going to a school that was reminiscent of Hogwarts and had a really academia-focused college experience. Others chose it simply for its place in the Top 5 of USNWR. I would say people interested in both should check the programs available at either school, and if they’re still split, they should try visiting both campuses.</p>
