northwestern university

I often take drives down just to see the campus. I have seen many of them around USA, and this one remains one of my favorites. It is very historical. As well, you get a sense of European architecture.

My first experience at an opera was Northwestern's Dead Man Walking this weekend. The show was wonderful! The addition of scrolling text at the top of the stage, even though it was an American opera, was very welcome. Northwestern has some extremely talented opera and instrumental music students. Concessions during the intermission would have been a welcome addition and made it more like the professional theater experience I'm used to. If you live nearby, you should put Northwestern's productions on your "to-do" list. Get there early, as parking is at a premium.

Northwestern is a top notch school with many beautiful buildings and the students there receive a wonderful education. The town of Evanston is a perfect place for the students to escape from campus and had many great restaurants and shops.

World class education set on a magnificent lakefront campus just north of Chicago, the great American city. What more could anyone want? One of the world's leading research universities coupled major conference athletics, world class theater programs and top shelf professional and graduate programs. This place is truly special.

A world class university with programs that are among the finest in the nation. Where else can can an undergraduate be trained at storied theatre or journalism school while also receiving an Ivy League caliber academic experience? The highly rated Kellogg Business School is also located on this campus.Situated on Lake Michigan, the Evanston campus is lovely, the facilities are modern and well maintained, the students are happy and engaged, the professors give equal attention teaching and research, and the president takes excellent care care of the students, staff and endowment.Am I biased. You betcha. Northwestern a special place and like none other. Go Cats!

A great place to go to school. Beautiful campus within a little town. A school located right on Lake Michigan.

Great campus to visit. They have a good football stadium called Ryan Field where the Wildcats play. I also liked the fact that they have a beach right by the campus. What more could the students ask for in summer.

We have been to many campuses across the USA. Northwestern is a clean, busy and easy campus. They are always building more facilities. Enjoyed sports events there and fireworks on the shoreline. The university does not seem to have a "center" of campus and is spread out along Lake Michigan, but still very accessible.

This university is not only beautiful--right against the lakefront--but it's also the home of so many cultural events. Pick-Staiger Hall has fabulous musical offerings. The theater department is one of the nation's best. There's an art museum that has unusual exhibits. The students come from all over the world with many, many Asian students. I work with international students in Medill's Integrated Marketing/Communications program.

One of the things Chinese tourists often do is to seek out the finest colleges and universities in a city they visit; it reflects the value they place on education. Since my wife is from China, we HAD to visit Northwestern University when we were in the northern Chicago area. It was a Saturday so no classes were in session. But many people seemed to be walking about, including students enjoying the day. Aside from it's well-earned academic reputation, the campus in May was very very nice! If you have time take a walk on campus especially the part that borders Lake Michigan.

This is a walkable campus on the shores of Lake Michigan. You'll enjoy the beautiful plantings and stately trees as you stroll along the curving pathways. The architecture offers an eclectic mix of old and new.

Beautiful, historic, architecturally significant, great real estate on the lake..... but man is it cold when the wind whips in off the lake. Still, it's a great place.

Gorgeous campus with a modern and intellectual atmosphere. Our son graduated from the Theater Directing Program with a MFA degree. He is well trained for the tasks at hand. Faculty and premises are top notch. Theater is wonderful. Located in very cute town with many eateries and shops. Very safe to walk around.

There is so much to the beauty of the campus that is hard to appreciate when you are a student and in your twenties. Taking a break to visit the campus and walk around Evanston and up to Wilmette revealed a really beautiful campus and area.

Excellent theater, music (January series); The alumnae classes are well worth your time and effort, as they give you plenty of interesting ideas for discussion.
