<p>I’m a gay midwesterner interested in politics who visited and got into Wesleyan. I also visited Northwestern, but chose not to apply.</p>
<p>Northwestern is larger. The campus IS beautiful. It has a very large fraternity scene and came off to me as more preprofessional.</p>
<p>Wesleyan is smaller, but large for a liberal arts college. It’s quirkier, and probably has a larger gay population to jump around in (and is known for being very liberal and accepting in general).</p>
<p>Both are excellent universities - they’re just different.</p>
