This is the subreddit for all things Northwestern. Whether you're an alum, student, prospie, or generally interested in the 'Cats, welcome!
Rules:
Rule 1: Be Nice. Respect your fellow redditor and the Northwestern community. Personal attacks, threats of violence, hate speech, and unnecessarily rude or targeted posts are not acceptable.
Rule 2: Don't Spam. Posts that advertise or are seeking student participants for jobs, surveys, or research studies will be removed if they do not meet the following conditions:
(a) Posts of this type require a clearly-stated reason why the request/offer is specific to the Northwestern community.
(b) Posts should follow Reddit's guidlines for self-promotion, particularly the 10% rule. If not, posters must message moderators for prior approval.
(c) Posts should not be made on a recurring basis.
Rule 3: Don't Ask About Admissions Odds. Posts that specifically ask about the odds of being admitted will be removed. Why we remove these.
Rule 4: Don't Try to Buy or Sell Things. We don't have any way to verify sellers or buyers and this isn't really the place to try and make transactions. This includes apartment sublets/rentals. Giving away things for free is generally okay (we'll decide on a case-by-case basis). To buy or sell things, try the Northwestern Free & For Sale Facebook group, or some other platform.
NOTE: Due to potential spam, Automod removes posts made by an account less than one day old and/or with a comment karma of less than 5. If your post is removed, please give us a few hours to manually approve it.

I am an international student (from India to be precise) and am planning to apply for MS CS and MS Robotics for Fall 2025. But I have some doubts regarding the programs. Can I apply for both programs in same term? And another question is, are both these programs thesis or non-thesis based?
My profile is as follows -
B. Tech in CSE from Tier 2 college (75.12% which translates to around 8/10 GPA and 3.66/4 as per WES)
2 Internships - 1 in NLP and 1 in IoT at startups.
3 years of work experience with a startup and govt.
Some projects and volunteer work.
Working on 1 one paper which I am planning to publish in NEJM by the end of November.
I do have a gap of 1 year in my profile due to a family tragedy and prolonged family issues due to which I couldn't focus on work.
I hope this isn't breaking any sub rules but I'm a student here. I'm considering buying the target test prep subscription to properly prep for the exam but it's expensive and would love to split it with a couple people that are also prepping and can use it too. HMU if you're in a similar boat.
I realize I should’ve been paying more attention but where is project 1 rubric at? It says nothing on the assignment.
Does anyone know if there will be a Chicago Express shuttle (from Evanston straight to downtown Chicago) in 2024-2025? Thank you!
i'm interested in GPRL's bayesian research analyst position and would like to know more about their interview process [how many rounds, what types of questions etc.] from someone who works on this or a similar position. please comment or DM if you can guide me through this. thanks.
Hey y'all,
Does anyone know where I can go play pickup soccer? I started playing a while back and I want to get back into it. Also, anyone who's interested in playing as well, I'd love to chat!
Looking for tickets and the prices are insane, are people going to the games? Northwestern isn't great this year and I'm just wondering if the prices will drop/what the deal is (I understand it's a temporary stadium and the seating capacity is much smaller)
Who's performing this year? The one on the 11th?
Hi, I’m applying to Northwestern as an ED applicant and I have my alumni conversation this weekend. Everything tells me this interview is fairly informal. I’m just wondering if I need to wear a suit or something? Thank you for any answers or clarifications!
Can anyone recommend classes with essays or anything take-home stuff as a final grading assessment?
I know the registration add-drop period is over, but it's kind of an emergency rn for me.
I don't care about how hard the class is. I'll manage.
Thanks guys.
In the market for 1-2 tickets for the game this weekend.
Anyone in EA3 with Keys? I don't really know anyone and I'd love to make some friends and work on hw together :)
Someone dm me to sell their Indiana ticket!🙏🙏
Ate at the same dining hall multiple times yesterday and basically had the same meal cause they hadn't switch to dinner yet. What are the actual hours for each?
I’ve seen some people say that the transfer admissions officers do not read the common app essay bc it’s optional. Does anyone know how accurate this statement is? Northwestern is the only school that has it, and it would save me time if I didn’t have to write it.
PLS DM
Is it that hard??? To have a designated area????? For lost items???????
(If anyone finds a set of keys please let me know.)
Hi is anyone in this program. Can you tell me how much tuition is and how you’re balancing working and doing this program. Also how long it can take you to complete. #counseling

Hi we're a pretty new club, established last year with NU, and we're looking for people to help get us off the ground. I'm a grad student, managing grad student efforts in this area, but the undergrad I was working with just graduated without setting up someone to take over, so the task to find a successor falls to me. Basically, our president dipped on me LOL

Sophomore here. Looking for more social clubs (I do too much pre-prof stuf already) to join since the two that I went to last week didn't really click for me. Are there any low/no barrier to entry clubs that have a good social aspect?
i’m looking upon selecting northwestern for ed and wanted to know if weather should be taken into account before selecting northwestern also is the mathematics models in social sciences a strong major?
HI Guys, im applying ed to northwestern and since its really easy to switch majors, will i get a competetive advantage by applying to a less popular major(like applied math or bme) instead if cs/ce. Or is it even possible to switch between different schools after i get in? oh my are ec's are slightly better suited for cs/ce

My roommate and I are looking for a double in the south--we have a pretty decent room in Elder right now with ac and a nice bathroom but the location is too far north for us.
