Congratulations!
Here is my take on Northwestern. Have they changed the name of it to "University of Louisiana at Natchitoches" (and yes, I can spell natchitoches off the top of my head

) like they did with some of the other schools? Or is it still Northwestern?
Anyway...
I went to Northwestern for a Thespian convention in 1998. There is NOTHING in that town. I mean n-o-t-h-i-n-g. The only place of business I remember was a Subway. And its been almost 5 years since I've been there, so who knows...I would take a trip to visit the campus, just to get a feel for the town.
