It's gonna take you more than 4 years

Introduction
I’m from Miami, so it’s 90º weather, year round so up here, anything below 60 is freezing to me. So the winters here are terrible and they get worse and worse and worse as the news puts it, but they’re not that bad, like I got used to them real quick. And I was going out wearing t-shirts at night when everybody had 3 sweaters, so you get used to it over time. There are underground tunnels that go from building to building, yet, I still don’t know how they work, so I never use them. But I mean, they’re there, if you need them to go from classroom to classroom.

Campus Life and Social Life
The party life here I would have to say is terrible. It’s city life, so you got to clubs and bars and stuff like that. The parties here, I mean either they get broken up or bad locations…if you’re going to NU you’ve got to go through city life, you’ve got to love clubs and stuff like that. To get alcohol up here, yeah, you need a fake ID. There’s no way to do it unless you’re 21. I mean, I’ve had a fake ID since I was like 13. But you definitely need one up here if you’re going to go live in the city. If not, you’re going to be trapped in your dorm room trying to make your own parties. Advertisement
Academics
The co-op program, I didn’t actually intend to do because I was doing English major and you don’t have to do it, but now you do have to do have to do that when you’re doing business majors so I kind of have to do it and it’s just you go to class for one semester and then the next semester you with, I don’t know they give you a job through the school and through the semester, they make you take like all these classes and write papers and just to get you like revved up for like the interviews with the other co-ops and it’s just so like when you get out of here you like know what you’re doing, you have more experience. It’s usually 5 years if you’re doing co-op. If you’re not doing co-op, it’s 4 years unless you had to drop a couple classes and you’re doing 6 years. Or 5 years and a semester, like probably I’ll have to do.

Student Body
Anybody who likes a city, I mean who goes out to parties, like clubs and stuff like that, who loves the city life is the kind of people that usually would like a place like this. Here it’s more city life people, like fast-paced, like go to class, go to work, you know, that kind of thing.

In Closing...
There are definitely cliques, always. There always is and always will be, but yeah, NU has a lot of cliques, just due to the fact that like there’s wealthier kids and all and there’s little fraternities, but NU’s not like a fraternity-run school so that kind of like clears that clique out of the way, you know so it’s just like a big group of friends.
