Why Northwestern?
Professor David Tolchinsky about why Northwestern students succeed, what Chicago provides as a comedy hub and more.
Why do people come out of Northwestern doing very original work? Unlike some schools where the goal is to sell a screenplay or to put people to work, we're always talking about how you can reimagine the art form you're working in. So not just the comedy, but what could comedy be? That's the vibe at Northwestern.”
