I found the academics to be REALLY tough, but that’s what I wanted in a school. I actually failed a class that a I studied tremendously hard for

My social life has been pretty tame, but this upcoming quarter, I definitely want to be more social and make more memories. I only have 4 years at NU and I’m 1/6th of the way done. I haven’t really done anything incredibly remarkable and 20 years from now, I wanna look back and share fond memories with my children.

I was surprised at how safe I feel on campus. NU does a great job with security and I never feel unsafe, even late at night.

I think people should choose NU because it has the best of both world in so many areas. We have great STEM, and great humanities. We have cold winters in the snow and summers by the beach. We have a vibrant social scene if you want and you can still enjoy NU without ever going to parties. Lastly, during the football season, we have the atmosphere of a B1G school and at other times, we have the vibe of a Liberal Arts college.

Academically, you can make relationships with professors from your freshman year and you have a tremendous support system around you. When you’re struggling, your professors look out for your academics and your well being.
