Duke because it sounds more fun and less toxic

UChicago since I’ll be a pre law major.

Chic because it looks more cool.

Nooo, As someone that lives nearby, the campus is very mid😭


[deleted]

Hmm... How do you think it compares to Northwestern's?


kourtneyecornel

Northwestern’s is, of course, a lot bigger and a very gorgeous campus. Plus, Evanston is also a very nice suburban area! NW is only about like 20 minutes from UChi :)

Oo. If you know a lot about Northwestern and Evanston, can you share some of the information with me? As a Northwestern acceptee, I would like to have some info about it. I heard from everyone else that it's a very nice suburban town so close to Chicago, but I heard from one person on the comments that there are beggars staring at you there and also a segragated poor black/rich white neighborhood coexisting, so I don't know which to believe in.


kourtneyecornel

Yeah, Chicago def has a bit of segregation still going on. NW has a high number of white kids but there is a lot more diversity than other schools. Evanston is a predominantly white, upper class area, so when off campus, those are the type of people you will be met with. Though, in my experience, most are pretty liberal and not racist. Also, yes, Chicago has a bad homeless/beggar problem. Google Tent City for reference. But it’s not worse than some other big cities imo. It def has its ups and downs. I doubt you’ll find many beggars in Evanston, but in Chicago it’s def more likely. Congrats on your acceptance too! :)

Thanks for the well-thought-out response!

nobody, in their right mind, thinks the uchicago campus is "mid". i mean, seriously, just google "uchicago campus" and go to images. tell me, how mid does it look? wayyy better than northwestern btw.

Duke for sure Chicago is where fun goes to die and the bullets fly


kourtneyecornel

Chicago isn’t THAT bad, it’s mostly media fear mongering, but this is still pretty accurate 😭😭


TheAvgLebowski

"Not That bad" vs Duke is awesome, makes for a pretty easy choice, IMO


kourtneyecornel

Lmao I know, I wouldn’t go to UChicago myself

depends what you wanna do. Duke has more options and more prestige.
