<p>Lolapop – I’m in the EXACT same situation as you, but with tulane and northwestern. I’ve visited both. My brother goes to tulane, and he loves it, and I’ve gone and visited several times too and had a great time. I visited NW during wildcat days, but everyone was preparing for midterms, so it didn’t look too fun. but how can I base my decision on that? I guess I’m just unsure of how the real atmosphere is at NW, especially on weekends. it seems as though it is miserable in the winter time, which is a large chunk of the year. Although prestige isn’t that important, it’s a huge difference between the two schools. It seems ‘safer’ to go to NW, but I dont know if I want to. oh and i’m probably majoring in mathematics.</p>
