If U. Go: Northwestern

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Steve Spencer Dispatch
IN A NUTSHELL: It's a lot easier to find things to do on a Big Ten campus when you have the nation's third-largest city in the backyard. Evanston has its charms, but you'll have no shortage of excitement with Chicago as its brawny backdrop. Great blues clubs, world-class hot dogs and fun with Legos highlight the trip. Paul Keels is along for the ride with his five-star recommendation. And if you wake up Saturday with a ringing in your ears, don't worry, it's probably just the key-jingling Northwestern student body.
FLIERS' GUIDE
It's a one-hour flight to Chicago, which is perfect for the Buckeyes because they don't like to air it out. Expedia.com is listing flights for $394 to Chicago.
DRIVERS' GUIDE
According to MapQuest, Evanston is a 373-mile drive from Columbus. It should take slightly more than six hours. With the price of gas hovering at $2, you can get your scarlet and gray SUV out of storage and make the trip.
