<p>Oh god. Rankings again.</p>
<p>I got admitted to NU and UIUC last year,</p>
<p>If UIUC makes more significantly more financial sense, go there.</p>
<p>However, Northwestern has MUCH smaller classes. My freshman year Math classes are barely 30 kids. And I’ve taken a bunch of English classes so far which are capped at 15.</p>
<p>Plus the Engineering First sequence is amazing. </p>
<p>And plus Chicago is nearby. With the exception of Winter quarter (F*** the snow) I’ve been visiting Chicago literally every weekend. It’s a 20 minute free bus ride. Heck, we’re closer to downtown than UofC.</p>
<p>Oh and you’ll fall in love with the lake and the beach for sure :)</p>
