1 Why premed northwestern Northwestern university is located in the state Illinois, Evanston and it not only exists for

more than half a century but also offers some great education possibilities. Tuition fee is not that high and is equal to $38,463 for both out-of-state and in-state students. The quality of education is also high enough. I think the best way to summarize all the factors that influence the education in Northwestern is to use the table that has been populated by the students of this university and can be now found at College Prowler website. If to take a look at this report card the university scores A mark in lots of activities such as academics, athletics, campus dining, off-campus dining etc. According to this website, 97% of the students return to this university after their first year and they also like a lot of things about the university such as Proximity to Chicago, Reading Week, The Great Room (College Prowler) Of course I think this university is very good for studying biology as it provides a lot of interesting information about such biology sub disciplines as human biology, cell biology, plant biology, genetics and many other fields. I think Northwestern is the right place to get all this knowledge because a lot of people think it is one of the best universities on the East Coast. The university also has a unique center for genetic medicine and I think this field of knowledge is very perspective nowadays as it allows growing beautiful and useful plants at the minimum costs. Though it is hard to choose a correct specialization at the moment, some opportunities that Northwestern offers sound really good. Division of reproductive biology research offers a great possibility to help millions of women to live their full life. The structural biology core allows getting a deeper understanding about how the structure of some molecules can affect different people. It is even possible to take an advantage of such specific programs as a training program in lung biology.
