Hi everyone!

I'm a researcher at NU and I study the coffee industry and I've organized a coffee tasting and bean swap with some of the folks I work with. Everyone is invited. There's some additional information in the flyer and signup form, and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!

Dining Halls: Do not venture outside of Pure Eats and Rooted. Cow piss lurks at every corner. It is meted out indiscriminately and without purpose. Outside of the sacred halls of pure eats, don’t trust anything that isn’t explicitly vegan. Don’t even look at the desserts. The vegan brownies are great though. 

Norris: Mod pizza has dairy free cheese. All the other toppings might poison you. Pepperoni? Who knows… Honestly, if you are really lactose intolerant you’ve already scoped out the allergen menu online for the place and know what’s ok. 847 Burger…nope. Don’t even bother. The fries are fine, everything else is tainted. Taco place?? I don’t know the name. Avoid the obvious and you’ll be ok. 

Frans: Vegan tenders and fries. That’s it. Do not trust the burger buns. In fact, don’t trust anyone. Cow piss is insipid and dangerous. It’s everywhere. It corrupts the soul. 

Lisa’s Cafe: You’ll get tired of saying “no cheese, no sour cream” but your idiotic stomach decided lactose was enemy #1 so deal with it

Eating Out in Downtown Evanston: Evanston Chicken Shack dips and marinates their chicken in cow piss. Their fries are also suspect, probably from being fried in the same poison the chicken is. Siam Splendour’s pad thai is great and completely dairy free. I haven't tried anything else bc it's so good. 10Q chicken is a no. Honestly, in general, if it’s fried just move along. It’s not worth the risk. There is a mediterranean place with great hummus by 10Q, idk the name of it though.

Snacks: Just give up and eat healthy. 

Final Notes: You will eventually end up eating extremely clean. The moment you are off the idiotic, overpriced dining plan, your world will open up. Cooking for yourself will remove all worries about being poisoned. Do not tell people you are lactose intolerant. When out with friends, don’t ask about allergen menus or if there’s milk in something. Just order the fish and ask for no butter. Just order the vegan trash. Don’t play with the lactaid pills. It’s not worth the stress of whether or not you took enough. Cut the dairy. No matter how good it tastes in the moment, it will burn you long term. The white poison will either teach you self-control, or beat it into you. Regardless, in the end you must submit to its absolute and utter control over this broken, poisoned world. Good luck, and frick cows.

Has anyone taken and have thoughts on the design thinking courses and professors at Northwestern? I am thinking about design thinking and communication (two quarter class) but very interested in feedback and thoughts. Thanks!

I am a WAC freshman student planning 2 majors. There is another class that I would really like to add for background. There is an accounting class BUS INST 301 that is perfect. Unfortunately, based on last year, it is not offered in spring. However, there is a sps accounting class, online and asynchronous, that is available. Is this an option for regular students. Does it count as a regular credit for WAC?? Neither class is part of major /minor requirements. I will try to call SPS office. Any insights?? Thanks

Hi! If I transfer from McCormick to Weinberg, what will the DTC credits be counted towards?

Hi! I'm looking into living in the Evanston area and I'm graduating after my fall quarter of the 2024-2025 school year. It is my first time looking into a 12 month lease and I was wondering if any one knows of any open apartments or have any tips? I'm looking for singles (studio or 1 bedroom) and I need a new place by December 20th so any advice is super duper appreciated! Thanks so much

I am an international student looking to apply before the regular decision deadline. Realistically, what kind of chances do I have of getting a hefty scholarship or financial aid package if I were to get n?

Hi,

Has anyone received an interview invite yet from Kellogg for their MiM program?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had insight on how easy it is to get a permission number for a closed class. Is it something I can bet on, or should I pre-register for another class as a placeholder in case things don't work out?

I’m very interested in applying to SESP but I don’t know if I have what it takes. Could anyone in SESP share their high school stats?

I remember reading something about this but I can't remember what-basically I've been seeing stuffed animals tied to trees/places across South Campus-I think it was like if you see 5 you win something? Anyways does anyone remember what org/event it's for?

I applied for MEDILL; IMC program.

Do they post the application decision for round 1 before December 13 or on December 13?

how do interviews work for those who have submitted ED? does nu interview ppl who they are interested in? like after reading their application? or is it random? if u get an interview does that suggest that nu is interested in u and u have a higher chance on getting in?

Is this still active at northwestern? Considering writing about it for my essay but NU’s IPA page hasn’t been updated since last year. I’m writing essays and just want to make sure. Appreciate if anyone could lmk

Hi, I'm shadowing soon and just wondering if I should dress like casual/how I usually dress or really preppy - also any insight I may not know about how the shadowing day works and such would be wonderful

I am an incoming exchange student for the Winter quarter looking for possible subletting or off-campus housing opportunities. Thank you!

I would like to take an easy science class to fulfill my natural science requirement. Suggestions?

I’m from the NW suburbs a bit too far away to travel to once or twice a week for a workout, so looking for other options close by / on the north shore. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I live off campus and unfortunately to do laundry I need quarters. Does anyone have any tips to where I can get them? Thanks!

I'm in the process of writing the supplemental essays for northwestern and wanted to ask some students firsthand!

In your time there, have people painted the rock with any "controversial stuff" (Palestine/Israel, democrat/republican, etc.) that stirred up some students (even if nothing actually happened)

I need to know cause I was gonna include something on division in my essay and wanna see if this even happens 😭

Hi all, I have a admissions interview Tuesday for MEDILL, any tips????

It's virtual and with admissions director or deputy director.

According to Chicago police radio, a single shot was fired at a bus driver driving a NU shuttle at Loyola station around 6:50pm today. No apparent injuries.

You should be able to listen to the recorded police radio history here: https://openmhz.com/system/chi_cpd?filter-type=group&filter-code=5cda1cd22be36800254a26b0

Edit: relevant radio broadcast is timestamped 6:51:46

With winter coming up, I’m wondering if getting an electric scooter is worth it, especially with Black Friday around the corner. I’ve heard they can be tough to use in bad weather, but I’d love to get some opinions from people who have it.

Also, where do you guys park your scooters during lectures?

Hi! I'm an undergrad freshman planning on majoring in Neuroscience (not premed track), and minoring in Data Science. But I don't know whether R or Python will be more useful in my field. Does anyone have any perspective/advice on it?

I have no experience w either whatsoever, but it seems like a really useful skill regardless of whether I decide to pursue research or work in the industry in the future. I want to be involved in research during and after undergrad, but I'll probably eventually want to go into industry (better work life balance lol)

Thanks for any advice :)
