At the risk of sounding like I'm standing on a soapbox....

Same here
I am applying to both K and GSB and I feel I like both the schools....a lot. Tough to choose between the two.
1. K definitely seemed more "touchy" and "friendly". GSB seemed more "professional" and not as much "fun" as K- This could be a positive or a negative depending on what you want.
I used to think this way. Suffice to say, while I agree the GSB seems more professional, I think you would find it is plenty fun. I can't speak to which is more fun - cause obviously I'm not at Kellogg - but I can speak to the fact that the GSB decidedly knows how to party..

2. K seems to have a closer network- everyone seems to know everyone else. Did not seem to get a similar feeling at GSB. This could be because K is located on a campus and most people tend to live in the same neighborhood. GSB students seem to be spread all over the city.
Oddly I found the opposite was true, but for the same reasons. Since GSB students all congregate on campus they develop strong bonds and get to know everyone quickly. Since Kellogg students dont have to come to campus to study in groups, they seemed more dispersed.

3. GSB facilities/building are AMAZINGGGGG
but the neighborhood did not seem very impressive (not that it matters much). The Jacobs center is quite ordinary.
Agreed. The Northwestern campus is much nicer, but the GSB facilities are much better.

4. GSB is the "hot" school and with momentum (as the adcomm repeatedly reminded us in the info session)
Indeed. See the EIU recent report.
