<p>Well, my reasons are different from undergrads in that I was choosing between graduate programs. NU is #1 in my discipline and WashU is somewhere between #20-#30.</p>
<p>I also like Chicago and Evanston more.</p>
<p>The students (both graduate and undergraduate) were a lot more welcoming and social at NU than at WashU. The atmosphere made it seem much more livable.</p>
