On That Northwestern "Human Sexuality" Class Was The Best Course I Ever Took
KellyAsh, are you referring to the 4-course "certificate" that the Kellogg GRADUATE School of Management offers to undergraduates while they pursue degrees in a non-business field? Because that is as close as Kellogg gets to undergraduates at NU. If you want to equate that certificate to a full undergraduate degree (that requires 48 courses in engineering, for example), I suppose you can. I would call doing so misleading.
My apologies for poor choice of words in my first post. Should read: "there are no undergraduate degrees in business at NU." That is a fact.
What is your point in bringing up the property tax issue?

There is no undergraduate program in business at NU. Also, no semesters at NU - only quarters.
Doubtful you went to NU. Analysis of school rejected. Sorry!

Fair enough, then we are in agreement.
My original post had to do with the AUTHOR equating the programs, with his statement about "prestigious undergraduate programs" in theater, journalism, engineering, and business -- effectively lumping them all together. The other three are prestigious undergraduate programs. The business undergraduate program is not comparable, not by a long shot. Nobody goes to NU to study business as an undergraduate. The author's writing would have the reader think the campus is teeming with future CPAs and CFAs, which is simply not true.
Actually, the semester error was more blatant (the business program was icing) and was the one that primarily led me to believe that the author did not actually attend Northwestern. Or at least, is very forgetful or isn't very observant or is loose with facts. This error makes me question how well he really knows the school, and whether we can trust his judgment about its character. But maybe I'm being too harsh and it's just that he doesn't think his audience will know what an academic quarter is.
Anyway, thanks for keeping me honest, as I was keeping the author honest. Doubt he reads down this far anyway. :)
Evanstonians, as a whole, are crazy. They think they are sooooo liberal, but they have a nasty "not in my backyard" streak (e.g. the ridiculous "stop the tower" campaign). They also fail to recognize how much revenue NU brings to the city. True, no property taxes are paid. But how much commerce occurs in the city solely because of the University? A LOT, that's how much.
