what I wish I knew before attending Northwestern University & a small campus tour

Hello, and welcome to the channel! This is part two of my Northwestern University series. In the first episode, I talked specifically about my experience in NU’s journalism school. This episode I’m giving five tips for any incoming freshmen or transfers coming into Northwestern. From the school’s hustle hustle culture to extracurriculars, we're getting into everything! I hope you walk away from this video with some solid advice on how to make your NU experience the best it can be.

A lot of this seemed geared towards undergrads but was still useful, thanks! Just committed to Northwestern for my PhD starting this fall.

Your perspective is very refreshing and your tips seem really helpful, especially the resources (and leaving the NU bubble) 👍🏻!

I am a Kellogg alum from the early 90s when it was the top rated graduate business school in the country. I made some good friends that I have to this day, as everyone was so smart and also gracious. The faculty was very respectful of the students. I was in the part time evening program (Chicago Gold Coast) and my employer paid my tuition which was pretty great of course. A point I would add is that the El and Metra run from Evanston to downtown Chicago so no, you are not isolated in Evanston. There is an alcove on the lake with a tiny beach on campus and I took sailing classes one summer. There is a beautiful newer recital hall with a view of the Chicago skyline. It’s a bit of rarefied air there and was a life-changing experience for me.

student council votes for closed meetings a place for free exchange of ideas?

[@tearp60659]

I am an Evanston resident. I don't believe it is quite as wealthy as you say. Now Winnetka is a very wealthy suburb. While I wish there were more affordable apartments, the area I live in (SE) does have several affordable apartment buildings. My 1 bedroom apartment is $830 a month. Just looking at the downtown area can scew one's perception. But I agree that it is advisable to do research and use the intercampus shuttle or public trans. to check out Chicago.

I’m applying as a transfer student to northwestern from DePaul. My father went to northwestern

[@GrigoriyNoviko]

Cool, I also attended Du briefly 😊

[@ogechiofili4382]

Thier acceptance rate is low. Does SAT submission increase chances ?

[@LiveLikeLex]

LOVE this video! Lmk if u wanna collab on making any northwestern content

[@TheTravelInfluenza]

Hey! I'll be joining nwu for masters this year. I'd appreciate if you could suggest some affordable places to stay outside of campus.

[@cjscorner6302]

Congrats on getting ready to start your masters! I don't have the best advice for this ... since I lived on campus all four years. But my biggest tip is to live with roommates! Five of my friends stayed at 1700 Hinman. It's an apartment only a couple blocks from campus and splitting the rent, they only had to pay about $750 each. But studios/one-bedrooms in Evanston can be quite pricey!

[@GrigoriyNoviko]

I heard they got an awesome journalism degree and other related majors❤too bad you have to be smart or rich to afford this university 🎓

[@JohnVKaravitis]

$80,000 a year?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! There is NO college degree worth paying that much per year, JUST for tuition!!!!
