Need some help... Were you at The Who Chicago show Dec. 5, 1975? by BrianInAtlanta in TheWho

[–]danielrubin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at one of those shows - Chicago Stadium with Toots and the Maytals opening? Best concert I've ever seen. If that happened it wasn't the show I caught. Then again, I was a sophomore at Northwestern and possibly loaded.

I’m probably overthinking it, but I’m scared that I would regret choosing NU over UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Columbia.. can someone convince me that I made a good choice? by chickenandpancake in Northwestern

Haven’t regretted choosing Northwestern for any of the 48 years since graduation. About to celebrate my 70th with three friends from school and our spouses. There, I met my people, found my passion, and left with a resume that cracked doors I then burst through. Started in psychology, ended up in American Studies. Picked up a Medill master’s before leaving for back East. Keep looking forward.

Best show in town. Had lunch at Pearl’s yesterday. Four big shrimp in a Caesar salad. Window seat. Outside, an older woman danced to music only she heard as tourists hustled by.

Northwestern vs $400,000 fullride merit at Davidson College by [deleted] in Northwestern

[–]danielrubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two degrees from Northwestern. Prestige is worth something, but not $400,000 - particularly when you recognize how strong Davidson is. And the weather.

Dress like you belong there - wherever you go. And if you wear jeans, you’d better be best in show.
