    IT'S SO EXPENSIVE TO COME HERE. Seriously. Granted, I love the school, I don't regret spending this money, but the tuition and fees really do stack up. Be prepared. Almost everything is over-priced here, particularly room and board.

    You get a lot of bang for your buck if you enroll in the School of Technologies. The Business College isn't a dud but not as big a bang as the Technology School.

    Depends. It's a pretty penny but they do offer a lot of scholarships if you have demonstrated need.

    Northwestern has an awesome financial aid department and will make sure you can afford going to school there. They are quick with your paperwork and reply in lightning speed to your emails. They offer many scholarships and grants, federal loans, work study, and their own NU loan.
