Review of Northwest Nazarene University

from Seattle, WA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am definitely learning a lot. NNU is a liberal arts schools so we are required to take a variety of classes. Sometimes it is annoying to take a variety of classes that I may not enjoy, but I learn so much. And the information really is helpful, even if I don't see it now. Not only am I learning a lot on the academic side, but on the spiritual side as well. Going to chapel, bible studies, and just hanging out with Christian friends really helps me grow in my walk with God.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am enjoying it quite a bit. I love the community at NNU. People are very accepting of each other. There isn't the normal drama or fights like at other schools. People are willing to help you if you are having trouble. People have so much fun with out the raging parties too. It is just a good environment.

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

NNU is very expensive. The financial aid officers will work with you to try and help you with loans and scholarships, but it still is very hard to come up with the money. NNU is a great school and I love going there, but sometimes I wonder if it is really worth all the money. But if you can make it work and get scholarships, then it is completely worth it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply for scholarships like crazy ahead of time. If you come to NNU strong with money it will make it easier to stay in the future. It will be easier to take out loans, just because you don't have that much money out already (so you won't keep piling up the loans). Also realize that this is a time when you are going to figure out who you are. Maybe write out your values, because you are going to be tested and have to come up with solutions on your own. NNU is a great environment for that, though. NNU really helps to shape you.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

NNU is a good school for people wanting to grow into strong Christian adults. Even if you are not a Christian, it is a good school to help shape your morals and values to be a strong respectable person in the world.
