Where's Northwestern?

Hi, I've been hearing a lot about Northwestern lately, but I'm a bit confused about its location. Can someone enlighten me?

Northwestern University is located in Evanston, Illinois, which is a suburb just north of Chicago. Its main campus is situated along the shore of Lake Michigan, and provides a beautiful environment with stunning views for students.

Additionally, Northwestern has a secondary campus in downtown Chicago where some of its graduate programs, such as the law and medical schools, are based. In general, all students can enjoy the suburban campus life in Evanston while still having access to the immense resources and opportunities available in a major city like Chicago.

On a separate note, if you end up applying to Northwestern and want tips on how to maximize your chances of acceptance, check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle their school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-northwestern-university-essays
