REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingNSU is a nice school where you feel safe.
Tayla from Tulsa, OK
NSU is a great college to be at. The classes are small, so there is a more student-teacher connection than most colleges can provide. The campus is small, but it promotes student connections.
Benjamn from Haileyville, OK
N.S.U. is an affordable college that has some great teachers in the English and Linguistics departments. They also have tons of clubs, ranging from the every day fraternities and sororities to the NEWTS (Northeastern Wizards Teaching Service) club that focuses on charity fundraising! There are many opportunities to become a stronger, better you at N.S.U!
Teshia from Tahlequah, OK
I rate it high. I like that the campus is pretty close together. The cafeteria is awesome.
Kimberly from Tahlequah, OK
Just pay attention. Plus tutors are avaliable for free.
Jamie from Talequah, OK
This school is like a family, the administration, professors and students are so helpful to incoming freshman. I have felt so welcome and had alot of help in finding my way. I play football and my time is taken up with alot of practice, the coaches and upper classman have been a big part of my doing well here. I love it!
