I agree with MidwestParent. Chicago is a great city, but Northwestern is not exactly close to downtown. It takes at least a 25 minute El ride to get to Wrigleyville, which is still 5 miles away from downtown. The WashU campus is more accessible to many of the really nice areas in St. Louis (The Central-West End, The Loop, and Forest Park).

Regardless you will probably spend most of your free time (at least as an underclassmen) on or pretty close to campus.
