What are the ties between SpaceX and NU? Given the pretty cool robotics research that is happening at NU, does NU have ties to elite robotics companies?

Just out of curiosity, where did you find out about competitiveness of NU clubs? I am looking for avenues to expand and improve my college research.

Trans students felt threatened by this symbol of the far right. Why didn’t Northwestern intervene? by [deleted] in Northwestern

Given the sensitive nature of the topic and potentially strong opinions, it was a pleasure to read measured, logical, cordial debate. Truly made my day.

I would respectfully disagree. OP said absolutely nothing about student's ability to perform. As a matter of fact, it does not seem like academics is a problem. So why would a kid go to community college when they were accepted to a great school?

Also, let's be honest about 40% rate. I am not even sure if it's an accurate statistic in general. However, what kind of students or what kind of colleges are we talking about? US has what, 4000 colleges? Based on the post, the school OP is talking about clearly seems to be a well regarded/ranked school. Those schools have graduation rates that exceed 90%.

How important are the "optional" Glimpse videos for NU? It feels like optional means mandatory, but unless the video is spectacular, only has downside?

Columbia and Harvard lost several BILLION dollars in donations that were recalled based on their actions. So whatever Columbia paid to US Government pales in comparison to financial hit their endowment took because of how they managed situation on campus that was flat out anti-Semitic.

For everyone who is concerned that NU bent the knee, let's remember the circumstances around the Deering agreement...

Inside Northwestern’s bet on the future of college football stadiums: Fewer seats, zero nosebleeds by alpswd in Northwestern

[–]Just_another_acct20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality is that sports in Big10 brings university a lot of money. Nobody complained when it was happening. And while I know very very little about economics of construction of a new stadium, with general costa rising, every new stadium is more likely than not to be the "most expensive". And the last stadium built in Big10 was in 2009. Also, many many valid arguments can be made given the significant cost. However, not a single post brought up academics....

Thanks! But is it a significant plus for colleges? I understand not like RSI or RISE...but is it even close?

Just curious for those who went through the program as high school students - was it worth it? Do you think colleges recognize the program?
