I’m a Freshman econ major at NU and last year I picked NU over the UT Honors Program. What it boiled down to for me is that Northwestern is simply a better school. Yes, UT Honors is well-respected, but NU Econ is 9th in teh country. But perhaps more importantly, the average student at Northwestern is lightyears ahead of the average student at UT. Going to Northwestern puts you into a great envrionment of talented, interesting, and intelligent students. Whereas at UT the average person on the street will be less intelligent and undoubtedly worked less hard than you did during the high school years. Northwestern has great opportunities because it is so close to a GREAT city in Chicago and because it is regarded as one of the best OVERALL schools in the country.
