Northwestern University

My parents and I took a little road trip to Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'd been there for a CTD (Center for Talent Development) session in sixth grade, but I didn't remember a lot about the campus. Going on this visit was really beneficial.

I found that I really liked the campus, the parts I did remember and all the new parts that I saw for the first time. The campus is much larger the that of Rhodes College down in Memphis, TN, which I and my parents visited in February. (I didn't make a post about it; I forgot to update my blog, again.....). Even though it is bigger, I don't think that will be much of an issue.

Its academic reputation is outstanding, and a great academic focus is one of the big things I look for in a college or university.

I love the university over all, and I will definitely be applying. I probably won't apply for/at early admission, since doing so, as the university's policy dictates, is like signing a contract with them. If you apply for early admission, you have to withdraw all your other applications, and if they accept you, you have to go there. Harsh, I think, but not if you are dead set on going there. But for me, I love several colleges/universities, and I don't want to limit myself to one.
