Campus
No matter where you fit in the Northwestern community, one thing has been clear for all of us: the 2020-21 academic year was like no other. Throughout the school year, NU experienced significant changes that have influenced campus climate, even in a remote environment.
City
Evanston is a robust city that’s transformed significantly over the past year — and it’s now the place you call home. If you’re planning on spending the next four years here, it’s important to be aware of the community you’re living in. To help you do so, we’ve recapped some of the top stories across Evanston from the past 12 months.
It’s no doubt the campus shuttles and public transportation options you’ll encounter in Evanston will help you navigate campus, Evanston and downtown Chicago — you don’t have to worry about parking and rush-hour traffic. However, with the multitude of public transit options available, it can easily get overwhelming.
Sports
Last year, Northwestern put together its best season since 1995. By making the Big Ten Championship Game for the second time in three years and winning the 2021 Citrus Bowl, the Wildcats proved their run to Indianapolis in 2018 was not an anomaly.
Arts and Entertainment
Northwestern is known for having one of the best theater programs in the country, but outside of the major, there are plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in the robust drama scene on campus.
