Unhappy at Northwestern :(

Fit with a prevailing campus culture can be what I would term 'an informed crapshoot". You can read stuff when you are applying to colleges, some of the description fits you, other parts, don’t, no school may be perfect so there is often a hopeful compromise. But sometimes the reality differs from what you understood, or your reaction to it is not what you had expected. My two kids who have tried it so far have both gotten it wrong.

OP may have been misled by statements showing Northwestern is more liberal than average compared to cohort institutions, without realizing the cohort referenced was BYU, Yeshiva, Bob Jones University, the Vatican, etc.
