<p>im in the same situation, choosing between NU and UoC… as well as two others, but mainly ive narrowed it down to those two.
I live in a city, so its easier for me to imagine this, but lets see.
Living in a suburb is absolutely nothing like living in an urban area, regardless of the fact that NU is only 20 minutes away from Urban chicago. Chicago is a great city school, NU is a great school near a great city. Also, I think that there’s more intellectualism at UofC than NU (not dissing NU, UofC is more intellectual than ANY school anywhere)… If partying and nerdiness are opposites on the same continuum, NU is closer to partying, where UofC is closer to nerdiness. But you will have a good time at either school, it just depends on HOW and what your definition of good time is.
For me, I’d much rather live in a city, with more intellectuals.
Than again, you can’t compete with NU’s programs in some specific subjects (theatre, film, journalism)
so there you go. Anybody else have any help for me, im confused tooooo.</p>
