I want to ask about if there is any place for playing table tennis on campus or in Evanston

Hello! My name is Beckett and I applied to Northwestern as a math major. Today I received an email for me to consider applying to ISP. Is this email sent to everyone or is it select? If you are a currently enrolled ISP student, what do you like most about it? Thank you!

Does anyone know an approximate timeline of when applications will be reviewed, interviews sent out, etc??

Hi!

High school student considering applying to Northwestern here. Just a quick question for anyone who knows current or past music students at Bienen - I've been told by some people that a dual degree specifically with cello at Northwestern is basically impossible/no one tries it, so I was just wondering if any of y'all happen to know a student at Northwestern who's doing a dual degree with cello and anything (engineering is what I'm thinking about though)? I know some viola and violin people but haven't heard of any cello students yet so if there's actually no one doing it maybe there's a reason....

Yeah that's it, thanks! Please let me know!

So I have credit for CS 150 from AP, but have not programmed in python before. I am taking CS 111 right now, is it over if I try to take CS 214 next quarter?

Hey everyone,

I’ll be starting my Master’s in BME at Northwestern (Fall ‘25) and was wondering about assistantship opportunities, especially TA positions.

Are master’s students eligible for TA or RA positions, or are they mostly reserved for PhD students?

How competitive is it to land a TA role in BME or related departments?

Do these positions provide tuition benefits or just a stipend?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s done this or knows how it works. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’ll be starting my Master’s in BME at Northwestern (Fall ‘25) and wanted to get some insights on employment after graduation.

I’m not into research/academia and want to pivot into industry and leadership roles. One of the reasons I chose NU is its interdisciplinary approach, especially the Engineering Management minor and courses like Product & Project Management, Quality & Health Systems, and Risk & Decision Management.

That said, I’ve heard that entry-level BME jobs can be tough to land and often low-paying. For those of you who’ve graduated or are currently job hunting:

1. How well does Northwestern’s BME reputation help with industry jobs?

2. How easy is it to break into leadership or higher-paying roles right out of school?

3)Are there strong industry connections and job placement support?

Would love to hear about your experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi! has anyone heard back yet for the Pre-PA internship?

First big wig now another one in the works. How much people do y'all think got it? Do y'all know anyone who got it personally? Kinda nervous because I have emetophobia...

I'd like to ship a package out but don't have any experience doing that (I'm not receiving a package, I'm shipping it out from here). Is there any way I can do that on campus? If not, what would be the cheapest Evanston service to use?

My daughter is a high school senior recently applying NW and received a email regarding the ISP program. I did some research and it seems most feedback are positive and it fits her career objective. (PhD) She did have a question how doable to have ISP double major biomedical. I see a lot chem and bio, so I am assuming there is a bit overlap. ? I also heard this is a heavy load program. So to double major a BME which is also heavy loaded, is that doable? She has done ap chem with a 5, cal bc (5) (cal 3 as well) bio (5) college physics with A.

Hi everyone, for context I am taking CS 111 this winter quarter and I have credit for CS 150 from AP. I don’t really know python so should I take CS 214 or 211 next quarter. my next quarter schedule will consist of EA-3, DTC-2, Concert Band, Philharmonia, and 1 CS course.

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out which would be better to apply for. I have a degree in Psychology and Nonprofit Management. I am an employee so I would get the tuition discount, and both of these look like they'd be my thing. The Integrated Marketing Communications or the MS in Communications.

Both would work around my work schedule as part time. IMC is cheaper per quarter, but MSC has less courses to take so is cheaper in the long run. Financially because of my discount, I could take two courses for IMC a year, but with MSC it would be one course per year until I've worked here for two more years. Which means at the slowest, I would finish IMC faster than MSC. Of course, that could easily change if I either get financial aid, take out more student loans, get scholarships, or a better paying job within the university.

Admissions is pretty much the same, but the MSC has a cheaper application fee. IMC has the normal quarter long classes, whereas MSC has 5 week courses. I'm leaning more toward the MSC right now.

Outside of those logistics--

Are there any big differences in the content and career opportunities between the two programs? I've heard that the MSC is more broad, but does that mean that it's harder to find jobs? I also don't hear much about the IMC program, outside of Medill having a good reputation for journalism lol.

Honestly I am not quite sure what I want to do either way. I am burned out from the nonprofit industry, and am looking to really just find a use of my skills with recruitment and marketing. I would love to work as a consultant for small businesses and growing nonprofits to help them with marketing and communications strategies, but outside of that am mostly just looking for something lucrative, secure, and relevant.

Applying to the BS/MS in CS program right now and saw that we can take at most 6 classes that aren't CS that must be approved in advance. I was wondering what kinds of classes people have gotten approval for (I assume mostly upper level CE and EE classes)? Edit: I emailed about CE courses to the director and he said he "can’t think of any CE classes that have not been approved."

hey friends! anyone else here a part of the upcoming spring 2025 pre-med post bacc class? 🕺🏻 🕺🏻

Has anyone heard back from R1 application deadline for the Master's of Science in Energy & Sustainability program? It seems like in years past, people heard back around Jan 26/27. Thanks!

Should I take ea 3 in fall or spring which ones easiwr

Hi, I am an applicant. Would reaol appreciate for this information. Thank you.

A temp whatsapp group has been made for everyone who got into MsAI fall 2025 DM for link

Hi, I'm an international student who has just been admitted to NU and need to estimate what the cost of living would be. I understand that the college website does give an estimate but I would appreciate any help I can get to validate that.

So if someone can give a rundown on rent, utilities, internet, transport, food, etc. it would be really helpful. Thanks :)

hey. we've got a guitarist and bassist and looking for a drummer to make some heavy stuff. Influenced pretty heavily by local Chicago band Daundry. Here's a rough demo. DM if interested. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13O6-uB8U6CGLMLjmYnyHfraUSytat5mK

If you know anything about EBC please dm me or comment, I have some questions!

My plan was to apply as a Learning Sciences and Social Policy major (which I planned to switch to CS once I got on campus, since I’m an international student and social policy is mostly focused on the USA). However, little did I know.

I had an online meeting with a Learning Sciences professor from SESP, and when I said that I wanted to major in Learning Sciences to work in that field, he straight-up told me that I shouldn’t major in Learning Sciences and should just focus on CS instead.

But I was in my “But daddy, I love him” era, so I still wanted to major in Learning Sciences. Then, I had a meeting with a former SESP student, and she showed me a meme of someone in a Halloween costume—a crayon costume labeled “SESP homework.” She also shared her experience. Well, let’s just say it wasn’t what I expected.

Now, I’m really afraid of waiting to get on campus and potentially not having a spot in CS because I took too long, or waiting so long that I don’t have enough time to get the credits I need to major in CS and MMSS. (I was a math Olympiad student in my country, and I love the computer science field.) Should I transfer now or wait a little?

No judgment. Help a brother out. Just started seeing someone new and we both live off campus. Need a private ish spot to hang out with her where we won't be walked in on or kicked out. Is somewhere in the library a good idea?

Throwaway because I could maybe be identified on main.

Northwestern's Pokémon League is hosting its first-ever DRAFT LEAGUE! Basically, this means that Trainers participating "draft" 10 Pokémon - akin to fantasy football - in different battling tiers. So far there are 7 people entered - including one recent graduate (the president emeritus of this club) - and we're always looking for more involvement!

I am a prospective transfer student, and if I get into Northwestern, I definitely want to rush a frat. I know official rush is in the winter, but can transfers (I’d be an incoming sophomore) rush in the fall? I know I gotta get in first and I’m getting ahead of myself I’m just curious. Thanks.

Hi there, the post is exactly what the title says. I got into northwestern MSAI program this year and wish to know a little more about job prospects, industry reputation, ease getting internships, curriculum quality and academic rigour. Would love to connect with some alumni or current student enrolled into MSAI
