<p>I can’t imagine where you heard that Chicago isn’t a great city for college students. I was barely familiar with Chicago before D started at NU, but having recently spent a bit of time in Chicago - and being quite familiar with Boston, NYC and LA - I honestly can’t imagine a BETTER city for students than Chicago! Combine that with the advantages of Evanston and I’d say NU enjoys one of the best locations in the country.</p>
