Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not be afraid to go up and introduce yourself to people, be it on a tour or during orientation; you might make an important connection! College is a chance for a fresh start, but always stay true to yourself. Go in with an open-mind rather than boxing yourself into expectations. Regardless of your current opinion on greek life, give it a chance-you do not have to join, but CNU greek life may surprise you. If you fall in love with the campus it is not a coincidence-you belong here!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The professors challenge and inspire you-but they are also there to help! Do not be afraid to ask questions and visit them during their office hours.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Our residence life team is impeccable. They all aim to give each student the best living experience possible. The residence halls are top-of-the-line and constantly improving. The living situation is great.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food overall is quite good, but it does get repetitive and there are only two dining halls. They are constantly coming up with new healthy options, but it is sometimes difficult to eat healthy all the time at CNU.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Campus Activities Board has free, safe, and alcohol-free events every weekend. They are always bringing in artists (like Sara Bareilles) and comedians. They also host life-sized board games and wonderful speakers. Fraternities and Sororities are also very involved in campus-life, and often host events like sing-offs and shows.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
CNU is expensive, but compared to other universities of that caliber they really do deliver a quality experience.
