Review of Northwest Missouri State University

from Kansas City, MO

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I really have learned a lot in my first semester here. Of course I have learned information from my classes, but I also learned things about myself. I learned that you should room with someone you know because it can turn out to ruin your friendship. When it comes to classes there are so many options to help you if you are struggling, which is one thing that I would suggest taking advantage of.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love my college. I have made many new friends, who I wouldn't be able to get through classes without. People are friendly there I think that is because everyone kind of in the same boat. We all want to do our best and make life long friends while we are here.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I'm not going to lie, college is expensive. Everyone knows that. However, many scholarships are offered if you ask for them. The school also uses very up-to-date technology and provides each student with their own laptop. So in the end it seems that even though you are paying a lot of money its worth it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Go out and have fun. A lot of people who don't like it here don't go out with friends. You can go to the movies, go bowling, and when its warm you can go to the lake and hang out with friends. Studying is important but every once in a while you need to take a break and let yourself have a little fun.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Northwest is good for any type of student. The school is known for its amazing education program. So if you are looking into becoming a teacher, Northwest would be a good choice to consider.
