  • 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.

    wishing you the best day!

    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.

      @cjscorner6302  2 роки тому +6

      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!
