Haha Sam Lee, I am very aware of NU’s strengths over CalTech. I also think that CalTech is better than NU (and all other peer schools except maybe MIT) for hardcore science research, something I am very interested in. Throw in, also, CalTech’s tiny student body and low student-faculty ratio. Ultimately, however, it was Northwestern’s well-rounded undergraduate experience that could have me both cheering at athletic events, have more extracurricular/job breath, and discuss Sartre and Wilde when I felt like it (which I did on my overnight stay :P). Also, when I visited, the Happiness Club was doing some event that made me think - awesome :).
