Sam Lee- I’m going to do just that. I actually have a few connections to NU’s psychology department, so I’m going to see if I can meet with some professors in neuropsychology/psych/bio, etc. for a very short talk. It would be even better if I could talk to students, I agree; however that’s a bit more difficult to arrange. Even if that doesn’t work, I’m almost certainly going to visit campus soon.

funfetti- I’ll PM you a little later with what I know about Northwestern and Wash U cognitive neuroscience (I know a lot… I’ve researched both schools thoroughly, visited both campuses, etc. I created this thread just to get some differing opinions on the subject, and because it seems like there are a lot of cross-admits like myself who might like a breakdown of the pros and cons of both schools).

So… any more opinions? And if people would like to weigh in on their overall impressions of the two schools, not JUST their views on campus atmosphere and neuroscience, that would be much appreciated as well. Thank you all for the info so far.
