niagara university has a great teaching staff; some of which work int the field they teach. they are very good about keeping you aware of current and up coming events. biggest criticism the current parking arrangement; be prepared to walk about 2-3 blocks to get to class.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
map out a path that covers your four years, and the goals you want to accomplish. especially if you want to have a minor in a particular field because it will tie up most of your free electives. it is also good to pick up these classes early enough in case you decide you want to change programs. dorms are available, there's always an event, and the students are really great. there is help in many places at nu and i would recommend using the social network to help you along. it has been great for me to branch out and meet new people especially because i am an untraditional student.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
most classes are very informative, and will give you a sense of what you need to know in the real world. you have to take classes seriously, and put an honest effort in. if you do most professors will go out of their way to make sure you get the material. however, some teachers have a schedule that i feel is too demanding. you feel like you're caught up in a whirl wind and are not sure if you are going to land on your feet.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
i have never dormed or been in a dorm so they get a 5 out of default. i do know that some of the dorms are newly added.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
i give it a five just because there are several places on campus to get food. while clet hall is the official dining hall, galagher center also offers food. there is a pizza place, sandwhich deli, asian food, grill, mini store, and tim hortons all located in the lower level galagher center.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
there is a lot to do. there is an on campus gym, different clubs, team events, and plenty of different sports represented. nu usually sends an email out letting you know what is going on and it may be anything from a movie night, open skate, or game schedule.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
niagara university is a bit pricey, but there are scholarships available as well as federal and state aid depending on need. the professors seem to really care about your current life situation, and what your plans on for after graduation.

Which types of students will excel at your college?
we have many different students. i am a 32 year old mom that works full-time and goes to school on a full-time basis as well. some people in my class are young with no other obligations, and there have been a few older well into their careers. niagara university for the most part has a very flexible and generous course offering. classes are offered at night and early in the morning, and a couple online.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
while i personally do not have time to join any clubs i know they are all around. if you are interested you just have to ask. if there is nothing to your liking you can get permission and start one.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
definitely things going on in this arena. again i do not have time for it, but i have seen and overheard some of their meetings in gallagher.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
they have always helped if needed--except if you lock your keys in your car which i have done. they will help you if your car battery dies, and get you to your car if your uncomfortable alone after dark. if you need anything special i would just ask.
