is northwestern really malignant? Chicago seems like an amazing place to live but not sure about going to a place that is malignant just to live in a cool city< not sure if malignant but definitely elitist lol< I will definitely put NW as my top top choice if I got an interview. Chicago is a great place to live (being affordable, functional as a BIG city) although weather in winter is terrible < why do people keep saying chicago is affordable?? < I should have been more accurate. It is relative. Comparing to SF, NYC< Chicago functions as a big city because it IS a big city. Third biggest city in USA to be exact. < ive literally never heard that NW is malignant < "<home student at falsely accused malignant programs and i lived in feaer during my med school yrs cuz of reputation but it really isnt true/attendings even respond to feedback well. tbh still kind of intimidated but def not malignant. a very kind and well-meaning resident program explained the differences between intense v malignant cultures" < don't worry if I match then I will write a name and shame dedicated to NU Derm < you mean Nw?? i wish youd tell us so we know how to rank it
