<p>Here’s MomoWC w/ her anti-NU shill again.</p>
<p>1st off, Evanston is hardly the “typical” suburb - w/its high-rises, it’s more of a small city.</p>
<p>2nd, Philly is a couple of hours away from any beachside activity - NU has its own beach (plus another one adjacent to the southern part of the campus).</p>
<p>3rd - having grown up on the East Coast, there’s a reason why Philly ranks below other East Coast cities like NYC and Boston - not to mention cities on the West Coast like SF (making your “argument” pretty weak).</p>
<p>And oh, NU’s lakefront has a nice view of the Chicago skyline. </p>
<p>Speaking of UoC (which is in Chicago proper) - it takes longer from Hyde Park (than Evanston) to get to many points of interest in Chicago (for example, Wrigley Field is 7.5 miles from NU and over 13 miles from UoC).</p>
<p>Plus, the best bars in Chicago - in Lincoln Park and on Halsted are also closer to NU.</p>
<p>The same thing applies to Columbia - while it is in NYC/Manhattan, it takes a 30+ min subway ride to get to the “real action”.</p>
