I graduated from Northwestern (twice). I work (and teach) at Northwestern. And yet I'm so mesmerized by this video and feeling super nostalgic. Enjoy your time here :)
Glad I could help, I plan on making more. Can you be more specific? What kind of dorm video? It seems like NU keeps their dorm layouts pretty secretive so I'd have to check
Ngl NU dorms, from the very few videos and pics that I've seen, don't seem to be the best... it wouldn't really affect my decision to apply (and hopefully go) here, but it'd be cool to just get another perspective on the dorms. Just simple things like what the rooms generally look like, what's on each floor (communal kitchens, etc.), and how updated & well-kept everything is. Kinda goes hand-in-hand with how I've heard that the gyms/athletic facilities (including fields/stadiums) are subpar compared to other schools in the same range as NU.
@@DoItSoonTutorials Okay, gotcha. Well, I'll see if I'm able to do something more in-depth about that soon. But in general, all dorms are liveable. Like there aren't any that truly challenge your way of living. That being said, there are some that are MUCH nice than others. Also, idk how many gyms NU has, but there's a really nice gym called SPAC up north. I've been to another one that's not as nice but still more than enough for general needs. Guess it just depends on what you're used to and what you require.
For sure. I'm not high maintenance at all, but some people describe the NU faculties as good - but just not as good as you would probably expect them to be. Maybe I'm mixing it up with another school idk. Thanks though. Have fun at NU.
@@JayTowns By the way...I'm a member of the NU class of 2024💜😺 twill be great to see you on campus next fall...hoping the corona is over by then😞 and stay safe upperclassman😉👊
That music building is so beautiful. I used to take violin classes there and still walk by there a lot. Great video! Also I go to ETHS and they take a lot of people from there so hopefully I get in when I go to college.
😭 seeing you guys @ Norris & Allison gives me major summer nostalgia! I’m a first year @ UIC but I had an internship type thing w NU catering this summer and I miss it alllllll!
Hey Jay! Thanks for this helpful video. Son is looking at Northwestern and this really helps him (and us parents) picture it better. Looks like you're off to a terrific start. (Great editing too.)
I'm glad I could be of service! Feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have. I hope your son is having a great time and not stressing out too much about the college process.
NU would be such an experience! I wish people were able to like “reapply” senior year bc that’s where I did & organized most of the things I cared about in HS/clubs student orgs&gov
Great video! I just applied ED to Weinberg, and your video is pretty much my only source of insight into NU life. Keep posting more, and I hope I get to see you on campus if I get in. :)
@@JayTowns Thank you! and if possible, could you quickly tell me about some of your stats and extracurriculars in high school? or hopefully, you'll make a video on that soon :)
Omds I just went to a talk last night and this was by far my favourite university, but I’m from England and I’m in year 11, I’m really interested in going to NU after sixth form :)
I got a 30 on the act, have an aunt who went to northwestern and have an average unweighted of around 3.82 with a 2 AP'S and a few honor classes and many regular classes in High school. I do really well academically and am involved in a half dozen or so extracurriculars. I also visited northwestern. I am applying RD. Do you I'm unlikely to get accepted or? Thanks!
@@JaffreyH you have to email some office. depending on what you want to switch into, you may or may not have to set up a meeting or take a placement exam or submit a portfolio or audition, etc.
all of the above and more! in my experience so far, friend groups tend to come from student groupings of happenstance. classes, clubs, dorms, things you can't really change who else is in it. most friends I've made are situational; I only see them in a specific setting (rehearsal, class). the best friends you make will be the ones you hang out with outside of the time that you usually see them.
Jay Towns okay thanks. I'm in eigth grade and I really want to go to Northwestern when I graduate but that's years from now. Anyway, I know you're smart because you can use a semicolon😅
Jay Towns yes, you are right, semicolons are underrated. My sister is in tenth grade and her English teacher said that it is good to use semicolons in your college essay because they will be proud because they are hard to use correctly. Anyway, I plan on taking AP and Honors once I get to ninth grade next year. Anyways, thanks, and you now earned a new sub😊 P.S (my gpa as of right now is 3.92).
hey, could you please leave your friend Riley Jackson's instagram. I am hoping to apply for the same major and would love to know about her experience. Thank you
*questions why he’s so dressed up for classes*
“I’m a theatre major”

You're a god send... there are like no other videos about NU.
Can you make a dorm video?

motivation to apply to Northwestern "Accidents happen" lol
That music building is so beautiful. I used to take violin classes there and still walk by there a lot. Great video! Also I go to ETHS and they take a lot of people from there so hopefully I get in when I go to college.

That's awesome! I have a few friends who attend who are from England as well. I believe in you!
Jay Towns aw thank you it means a lot!
Yo are you taking your AS levels now?

Thank you so much for all your lively videos on NU! I’m an incoming freshman and your videos get me so excited hahahahahaha
glad to hear it! congrats on your acceptance!
You have to show us plenty of views of the lake from campus
I can do that 😉
I'll be at NU in the fall!! can't waiiitttt
Yay! Congrats!
I was recently accepted into the class of 2024 (!) and I’ve lowkey been binge watching all of your videos haha 😬
Natalie McGowan YESSSS. I’m so excited for fall 💜

Woah I'm applying this year. Hope I get in lol. If I do, I'll meet you bro
You've earned a sub sir!
“Literally here I am and I’m still 12.” The most accurate thing I’ve ever heard
glad someone else felt that as much as i did 😩
You're funny man! lmfao. love it.
"This is hand sanitizer so I guess that'll be usefull"
2020: 👨🦯
hahaha... didn't age well, huh?
@@JayTowns nahahhahahahah
Great job!
thank you!
natalia seems like the best person
honestly from what i know, she's great
Please make more of these videos!😭
I will, don't you worry! Just gotta find the time to do it 😩
lol I love your editing this video was great
Damn first day really hits different now rip us in class of 24

Hello bro am hoping to apply NPU under csc scholarship programme
Great video! 🤠🤙🏼

Do a video on Kellogg please
like the building? or the business program in general?
I’m gonna be a theater major at northwestern in September!!!!
that's awesome, congrats! i'll see ya soon then. 😉

it depends on what program you're applying to, but that sounds solid to me!
@@JayTowns thanks! Do you know how to change your major once you've submitted the application?
@@JaffreyH you have to email some office. depending on what you want to switch into, you may or may not have to set up a meeting or take a placement exam or submit a portfolio or audition, etc.
Can you ask your friend who’s majoring in bio which dorms are best for that major? I’m going into NU as a bio major haah
Also how do friend groups seem to form at Northwestern? Is it based on dorms, majors, classes ...?
all of the above and more! in my experience so far, friend groups tend to come from student groupings of happenstance. classes, clubs, dorms, things you can't really change who else is in it. most friends I've made are situational; I only see them in a specific setting (rehearsal, class). the best friends you make will be the ones you hang out with outside of the time that you usually see them.
Jay Towns aw I love that:)
HAHAHA “See something, say something, whatever!”
Northwestern is my future university
Natalia.. yes 😳😍
How far apart are north and south campus?
depending on where you are going to/coming from, anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes
congrats!!!! i'm applying to northwestern ed this year. is it true that there is a 100 person cap on the theatre major?
Awesome! I was ED too. And yes, the cap is 100 theatre majors accepted per year.
watching this in 2020, i'm really hoping that accidents still happen
you bet they do!! haha i believe in you
@@JayTowns haha thanks!!
is that a motorola bc if so I HAD THAT PHONE i called it mr. moto #nostalgia
what a fucking video. I wanna go to nw now.
What was your high school GPA?
around 4.0 on a 5.0 scale; I took a lot of honors so that helped 😂
Jay Towns okay thanks. I'm in eigth grade and I really want to go to Northwestern when I graduate but that's years from now. Anyway, I know you're smart because you can use a semicolon😅
@@diamondlaser5742 semicolons are totally underrated, dude. have fun in high school!

Anyway, I plan on taking AP and Honors once I get to ninth grade next year. Anyways, thanks, and you now earned a new sub😊
P.S (my gpa as of right now is 3.92).
@@diamondlaser5742 Awesome, sounds like you're on a great track. Good luck!
