Getting towards the end of my junior year and I'm looking at colleges to visit over the summer. These 3 are probably my top choices right now. None of them are near skiing, but I'm wondering if any NSers go to any of these schools and can tell me what the vibe is like.
 
Northwestern is awesome. I visited a friend there a few times when we were in college. The campus is really nice and right on Lake Michigan, and it's also really close to downtown Chicago, where there's just about anything you could ever want to do.
 
Word I was most curious about Northwestern. I feel like there isn't much to do in the midwest. Good to hear otherwise!
 
My aunt lives right by the Northwestern campus so I've been there a lot. It's really nice, little beaches n shit and lake view trails and shit and large areas of grass to do things and shit. Also it's close to downtown, and Evanston has some things to do in it, and you could kind of say it's close to skiing, sort of. Chestnut is like 3 hours away and usually has a solid park.
 
Haha yeah, I mean as a whole there's not a ton to do, but I absolutely love Chicago. Such a great city. And I'm pretty sure there's now a train that runs from Chicago up to the west side of Michigan, which is really nice in the summer if you're on the lake.
 
yeah I didn't really like the feel of the campus life though. Like you said though, awesome area, even evanston is super nice and im pretty sure theres a train that will take you downtown.
 
my ex's brother goes to duke, and some nerd from my highschool. they both like it. come to wake forest though, its just as good academically and so much more fun than duke
 
Turned down Johns Hopkins. Its a nice campus and stuff, very old, and is in inner city Baltimore. Its a dangerous campus though as a result. Not too far from skiing (around an hour or so), but its nothing special. The kids there are kinda either douche bags or very nerdy. Didn't really like the vibe there.

Great school, but just not for someone like me.
 
yeah honestly of the three you chose, the coolest kids are probably gonna be at duke, and it will have the best campus life. I was actually looking at all three of these schools, and only ended up applying to duke. One bad thing though is you won't be anywhere close to skiing
 
i love Wake's campus....one of my good buddies just graduated, Josh Bush, played football and looks like hes gonna get drafted, so happy for him
