A few question for those who have faced this decision:
without considering St. Louis vs Chicago, which school has the better nightlife and social life on or near campus?

Does WashU have a lot of rahrah school spirit? Does NU? College football can be awesome but this isn’t Ann Arbor or Columbus.
Athletics are important priority, more than the food or dorm. He would also put social life as a top priority as well as being able to get a late night pizza or burger. Ten minutes will seem far at midnight. Is there anything just a few blocks away?

Where would you have to work harder. Seems like the quarter system at NU would be super challenging. All that work in only 9 weeks? Probably will have to work super hard anywhere if premed.

What i heard is WUSTL is a great school and not a great town. IS THIS TRUE? Evanston doesn’t have a good relationship with the students, but its a nice town and right next to campus.
