The professors here at this university are great. Since the class size is about 30 students, it is easy for the student to get to know their professors and spend time focusing on their key points in class, work on their flaws and correct whatever issues they may have. All the classrooms have a great projection set up so it makes it easier to learn with Powerpoints, pictures, movies, and Microsoft Word (for notes). Also, the construction of a new science building is coming up, so it going to be a great place to learn with all new equipment and everything.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I do enjoy living here at North Park because the neighborhood is nice and the location of the restaurants and the L are perfect. If you go out and meet new people, there is always something to do. There is music in the Java Haus lounge, frisbee in the green space and plays in the LHA, so its nice that all of these are close by. its not a large campus so its not easy to get lost in which makes getting to class so much easier. Most classes are located in Carlson Tower, so the only trick is knowing which floor to get off at. The diversity of the university also plays a major role in why it is a great campus. There are always international students coming in from Korea, Sweden and many other different countries. The students get to meet so many new people and the more people they meet, the more comfortable their environment becomes because it becomes easy to talk to other people and to get to know one another more closely.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is semi-expensive to go to North Park, but if you are able to find the money to come here, it is definitely worth it. North Park is a great academic school and was ranked number one in the country for their Nursing program. Although it is a dry campus and not a big party school, you can always find some fun around the neighborhood or even downtown. The quality of the university's education is great and you will definitely get your money's worth here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-do not procrastinate
-get sleep
-when you are given an assignment, start it right away
-look for any available on-campus jobs
-buy used books
-try to party only on the weekends because no one wants to go to class super tired the next day or even worse, not show up
-show up to class (VERY IMPORTANT!)
-take very good notes
-if you are not there for a class, get the notes from one of your classmates and ask about any homework, due dates, changed due dates and tests/quizzes.
-talk to your professor as much as possible. If you don't tell them you don't understand something, how are they supposed to be able to help you?
-spend a lot of time at the library
-check your email constantly for class cancellations, important class information from your professors, and updates on what is going on around campus.
