U of C, NU, and architecture

How do you compare the campuses of Chicago and Northwestern? Does the U of C far surpass NU because of its exquisite gothic architecture, unified and planned? Does the Midway make a showcase for the school's setting that NU cannot match? Does NU gain points for an eclectic mix of buildings or is this a negative? How about its lakefront setting, does that give NU an advantage over the U of C and the vast majority of schools? Does the U of C score on how it is weaved into the Hyde Park neighborhood and the intellectual area that it presents. How about NU? Is the more collegiate Big Ten atmosphere a plus the U of C doesn't have? How about Evanston's cool downtown; Chicago doesn't have this amenity the way that Northwestern does. Does it count?>
