I visited both WUSTL and NU, and from what I could tell they were nearly identical schools, in terms of size, types of students, academic quality, beauty, course variety.

NU is out of town though, and WUSTL is in the middle of St. Louis. Though you are in the Chicago suburbs at NU, the people I’ve talked to who go there say they never really go into Chicago because the El ride is so long. WUSTL is very close to most of St. Louis’ most popular places and attractions, so it will be more of a city environment.
