You can find them on the NU site.
My 2.9% staff raise meant extra $175/mo
The raise also moved me into a higher salary bracket for healthcare premiums.
My premium goes up $70/mo for same plan as 2026.
I have to contribute $105/mo more for HSA to pay to reach my deductible for my therapist (who i have seen for four years and become OON thanks to the switch to UHC).
So…. No raise.

i have a 1500 sat (780 math 720 eng), 4.0 gpa. I am an international student,
should i ED at NU (weinberg) or Umich (LSA) for undergrad in sociology?

my counsellor says at 1500 as an international student i have only a 5% chance of getting accepted at northwestern ED. Also another child from my school doing ED to northwestern who has better stats than me is a factor to consider

I know there aren’t any bad seats at new Ryan Field, but what’s the better choice between lower bowl corner and 2nd tier upper deck corner ?

damn

we announce Kami Salon will be Permanently Closed after Oct 29th 2026

Our shop has been near the Northwestern University area for nearly 11 years, and most of the people who walked in and sat down were you. What started as “just a quick trim” became a regular chair for many of you. We remember who likes it longer, who prefers it short, who comes once or twice a semester, and who shows up almost every month. These small things, repeated over the years, are how we came to know you.

We are now closing—not because we no longer love the work, but because it is time. The last day for appointments is October 29, 2026. We will be open as usual that day. After the 29th, we will no longer take appointments.

Thank you for trusting us all these years. Some of you came from freshman year through graduation and still came back for one more cut. Others started working and still made a point of stopping by. When you said, “Just the same as usual,” we always remembered. That trust has been the best part of these 11 years.

If we meet somewhere else someday, just say hello. We’ll know who you are.

Kami Salon

NU was my dream school. Got in on a full ride but now I’m rethinking my life. What’s the point of this if all im doing is to work and have money to struggle later on? I don’t really feel like there’s a point in partaking in anything

I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this but I'm really considering NU for my ED, but was wondering if anyone recently has gotten in with a lower end GPA (3.8 UW) and a slightly higher SAT (1500s)? My ECs are definitely what carry me.

Between the two programs in Weinberg and McCormick, which would be a better minor? I’m an Applied Math junior who has enough room for either of these. I know a minor isn’t that serious esp. since these two are of the same thing, but I was wondering the difference in course load, content, etc.

i am a student that TED'd to northwestern, and we had a kahoot during welcome week about the transfer cohort coming in. here's some interesting information.

1. the cohort was roughly 270 students, which is around 10% of an incoming freshman class at NU.
2. this school is NOT CC transfer friendly: 8 out of 270 were community college
3. (a bit shifty on this datapoint, as people were saying this is a mistake afterward) there are more private transfers than public
4. there were 3 exclusively music major transfers
5. there were not a lot of communications/theatre/journalism transfers (can't remember the exact numbers, but for some reason I recall ~15 for comms/theatre, and ~40 for journalism)
6. the large majority of transfers are econ, followed by miscellaneous engineering degrees, and then various premed paths

here are some personal experiences:

1. there are a LOT of transfers from emory university, especially its oxford college.
2. I haven't met anyone who didn't TED here
3. basically all students are coming from the US news top 40, top liberal arts, or geographically close colleges (like Loyola chicago or UIUC).
4. in the top 40, to be more specific, most students I've met are coming from private peer institutions (stanford, JHU, duke) or known publics like UNC, the UCs, michigan.

Hi, I'm a sophomore currently in bio 202, and I just got my score back from the first exam and I got a 60% 💔. I also struggled a lot in bio 201 last quarter, I consistently scored in the 60s - 70s range, and I barely managed to pass with a B. I really want to do better this quarter, and I was wondering if anyone who is doing/did well in the course could share how they studied for the exams. Right now I have been just watching the prerecorded lectures and making flashcards from the slides but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Tyy

How common are straight A’s throughout all four years of a bachelors at NU? I mean I know it’s top students here but idk I’m just curious lol

Alum here. In town for business. Decided to go to game yesterday at new Ryan field. The stadium is everything I had heard and read. I was in loft and felt not far from field. That’s the good. Now the bad. Where were the fans? Maybe 1/3 to 1/2 full. Student section emptied after halftime. Just about empty by end of game. It was homecoming! Against a bad team! Also, worst pizza ever. And loaded nachos not so great. Go you northwestern !

I was looking for opportunities for pre pa experience over the summer as a current second year uni student, and came across the northwestern medicine Pre-PA Internship. Does anyone have experience with this program on applying or has been through this internship that can give me some insight? I plan on applying in December when the application opens and I am betting its pretty competitive, although I'm not too sure how many people they pick? I would love to hear from anyone that has been through this process.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if, in the past, the questions on the first chem 151 midterm were actually like the practice exams or more like the recitations. I'm asking because the recitation questions are so hard and have multiple steps compared to the MCQs they gave us. Any advice on the midterm would help, thanks!!

Hi! Would anyone be willing to share their supplementals or explain what each supplemental question is looking for? I’d really appreciate any help.

I’m debating traveling up for the Iowa game. I’m a “neutral” fan (VT fan), but I’d be pulling for Northwestern. The new Ryan Field looks really cool, and Northwestern looks legit this season. That’s a good combo for my first trip. I usually don’t like making my first trip to a stadium unless the home team is good.

How is the parking? Is there any free/cheap parking? I’m willing to walk 20-30 minutes. That’s my normal when I visit a new stadium. Idk if the stadium is in the same location as the old one or not so idk how well the parking situation has been figured out for it yet.

How are the pregame festivities? Is there a dedicated “fan zone?” Anything around campus that you would recommend I check out? I’m not a drinker so bars are a no go unless it’s a bar known for its food.

Thank you in advance for anyone who gives me some advice

Hi! Prospective student applicant here
May I ask does Northwestern care a lot about legacy in application? How does legacy work here at NU when applying?
Thank you!

I'm applying to Northwestern this year, and I am looking for potential student groups interested in women's health that match my interests. I saw a news article about NU Repro and see from 2023, and I was wondering if anyone knows if that is a current group? The club interface on the website lists College Feminists and SHAPE as clubs too, but I have a feeling the site is outdated. Similarly, are there opportunities for undergraduate research at Feinberg or to work at the Student Health Center?

Thanks!

Wsp yall over the long weekend I wanna go with my hg and larp at northwestern pretend to be students all that, is it nice to walk around and larp being at northwestern and what should we do, where should we eat and all that. We have larp experience from going to the ye concert without a ticket and just hanging out outside

Hey everyone!

I’m thinking of applying to Northwestern’s SESP + Medill dual degree program.

Do SESP and Medill review applicants separately? Like, if I get accepted by one school but rejected by the other, could I still get into Northwestern through the school that accepted me? Or do both schools have to accept me for me to get in at all?

Thanks!

Which one is easier to get an A in?
