Northwestern University

I loved this school. Northwestern is an ideal environment in which to examine life, meet brilliant and interesting people, and have fun in a terrific city.

I double-majored in music and history, and went directly on to a top-ten law school after graduation. Northwestern prepared me quite well for law school, and I feel like my educational experience was top-notch. Northwestern is one of the few truly well-rounded top universities… every department offers leading scholars and excellent resources. If you are interested in sports or performing arts, the facilities are great, and Chicago offers plenty of opportunities to see games and concerts.

The only down side to the university that I can think of is the weather. It really is pretty cold and windy in the winter… (especially for this transplanted Californian). But you get used to it soon enough, and it makes you appreciate the beautiful spring and fall even more.
