After struggling for some time to get settled in to a college and call it home, I have finally found that at NU; the school is small, but large at it's core. Their mission is simple: to carry the call in ministry through education and their academic program is both invigorating and challenging. I have been here one year and the experience has been phenomenal; between the educational experience and the strong sense of community, one cannot go wrong at a place like this.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Just be yourself and make it a point to get to know your fellow classmates. Study diligently and organize your time efficiently, because there is always something going on.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I have attended four other colleges besides NU and this is by far the most challenging.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Their is a strong sense of community here and each floor is like a family. The RA's are constantly coming up with activities to bring their halls closer together to bond and build that homey relationship.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Not going to lie...food gets old after a while and they are not always vegetarian conscientious. I would say this is the worst part about NU. Don't get me wrong there are some days when the food is really good...just not always.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Jump in the lake, hike, run the trails, walk down to get frozen yogurt, disc golf and volleyball on campus!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Screaming Eagles week: the most intense fun you will ever have.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for all types of students. Being at NU I have discovered an amount good in people that I have never seen before. The students and faculty here make it a point to make each and every one feel welcome here on campus and we smile genuinely, not forcefully.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Tons. and if it's not here, you can start any club you'd like...within reason of course, and the student government is always willing to help jump start your club with funds if needed.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Sometimes a little too safe. We have 24 hour security and surveillance and each building is coded as well as each hall and room. If a code leaks out to a non resident or opposite sex the codes are reset.
