It is a beautiful campus with lots of nature. The professors care about the student's success. The school seems to try hard to make sure student's are able to pay their way through school and graduate.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
This seems to be a great campus for the freshmen, but for transfer students (like myself) it is rather difficult to make friends. I am in numerous clubs, try to talk to people, and even keep my dorm door open and I still have not met anyone. Upper classmen tend to stick to their groups. Also note that this is a small town and there isn't much in it besides the school and the basics (grocery stores and gas stations pretty much). If you are a computer or technology major, many companies say they love Northwest graduates and even come here to recruit multiple times throughout the year!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It is very easy to succeed here. Most of the teachers offer extra credit, study guides, and study sessions.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Community bathrooms that only get cleaned by the janitors once a month. In the upper classmen dorms people are not very social.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I've gotten food poisoning numerous times and it's very expensive.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Squirrel watch!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's a pretty good deal considering it's one of the cheapest universities in the state. Can't turn up free textbooks and computers (that you can exchange at any time for different ones). Online fees are pretty expensive at $40/hour (and some of my classes are only offered online).
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Everyone is obsessed with the amount of squirrels running around. You cannot go anywhere without seeing at least 5.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you're not a slacker, you can make it here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
A lot of clubs to join, you just have to find them.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
On campus police, takes them less than 5 minutes to respond and they send important safety information via email. They also include all crime (including misdemeanors) in the school newspaper.
