<p>Thanks…these are helpful replies…I can make a very strong case for WashU, but we want to go through this process (as his parents) with the same open eyes that we had for our older son. We’ll be thrilled with his choice either way…but, one thing that I will never argue with is the access to Chicago is definitely far superior than being in the St. Louis area. St. Louis is a pleasant-enough city, but Chicago is Chicago. We’re off to visit this Saturday and he’ll be on campus for Wildcat Day on the 16th…please keep the Northwestern viewpoints coming (we know the WashU viewpoints!).</p>
