<p>As hard as it might be for you to believe, there <em>is</em> a group of people who don’t find the need to obsessively follow sports and instead go to concerts and MoMA.</p>
<p>I don’t know where kameronsmith gets off thinking that the NE doesn’t care about sports.</p>
<p>While the NE doesn’t care as much about college sports (except for maybe college BB and lax) as much of the rest of country, the NE is just as sports crazy, if not more, about their professional teams.</p>
<p>The whole Yankees/Sox and Yankees/Mets rivalry is a topic of conversation year round.</p>
<p>And the cities of New York, Boston and Philly are particularly known for having obnoxious fans (throwing batteries, cups of beer, snowballs, etc. at opposing players - much less all the cursing).</p>
<p>Does he even really live in the NE?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Give me a break.</p>
<p>Like Chicago doesn’t have some of the top museums in the country?</p>
<p>Chicago has the BluesFest and the JazzFest as well as concerts all throughout the Taste of Chicago.</p>
<p>And two of the top symphonies in the US reside in Chicago and Cleveland.</p>
<p>Go away, you’re really starting to embarrass yourself.</p>
<p>
I live in Vermont, thank you very much.</p>
<p>I never said you couldn’t find culture in the Midwest. I was responding to attacks on me for not liking sports.</p>
<p>Folks, I was obviously joshing around — I do believe the Northeast is better for a myriad reasons, but you should be able to decode the morbid sarcasm in my “standard of human being” statement. As for the current debate at hand, all I have to say is that New York is better than Chicago any day because Big Appleans are rude, obnoxious, and innately savage in their overall mentality. Those are realistic qualities I would prefer to the manufactured cordiality of the Midwest any day.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So - your response was to attack the Midwest for not being as great as the NE? </p>
<p>Makes total sense (what would you do if NEers did the same?).</p>
<p>I’m a NEer - “Man, that kameronsmith is a ‘loser’ for not liking sports.”</p>
<p>That’s your cue to start attacking New Yorkers for not attending the opera.</p>
<p>And actually, you did imply that Midwesterners did not go to the theater or museums like NEers.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me about the quality of Northwestern’s undergraduate engineering programs? I know it has a strong graduate school reputation, but am not sure about the undergrad engineering experience . . . … son is interested in chemical and mechanical engineering. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>great, mechE is really good, chemE has some crazy research going on… check out lyrica.</p>
<ol>
<li>great industry connections with one of the most established co-op programs.</li>
<li>freshmen get exposed to real engineering right away with real projects for external clients.<br></li>
<li>engineering analysis series is unique and pedagogically superior compared to typical first-year curriculum in most other places.<br></li>
<li>the design-oriented and forward-thinking curriculum shows how much NU has invested in the undergrad engg program.</li>
