Review of Northwest University

from San Jose, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Northwest is an amazing place; it is based off of Christian Values and strives to serve their students, community, and most importantly God. The staff and professors are absolutely incredible; they are generous, helpful, knowledgeable, and overall brilliant. It is a school to call home.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved! Make friends, which is not difficult to do at all; everyone is very welcoming and kind. Study hard, because the class sizes are small, so it is inevitable you will be called on to participate in class on the regular.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

We have a state of the art nursing and Pre-Med program here at Northwest, which is both exciting and challenging. The professors here expect the best from their students and strive to challenge their abilities.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

A wonderful experience here at Northwest. The dorms become your family away from home. Each floor has their very own sense of community and pizaaz. There is always someone to talk to, hang out with, eat with, study with, and just be there for you when you're missing home, or facing challenges.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

It's Cafe food....some days are great! Others...not so much. There are many options, however, and they are striving to improve the quality and service. They just designated a gluten free area for those gluten-intolerant.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is so much to do in the area. Seattle is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Don't have a car-no problem! The bus is right out front of campus and the 255 will take you straight to downtown, where you can explore the famous Pike Place market, Seattle Ferris Wheel, or search all of the amazing antique and thrift shops. If you want to stay in town, the waterfront in Kirkland is just a 5 mintue drive, or 20 minute walk and it is absolutely beautiful. One can jump in the lake, rent paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes, or just sit and enjoy all of the beautiful scenery.

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

The experience here at Northwest University has been life changing, not just for me, but for many of my peers as well. There is always something new to see, hear, and explore.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Screaming Eagles! The most anticipated event of the school year. Two-words: Cray Cray.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

*Spiritual *Community Oriented *Friendly *Accepting of others *Diverse *Goal Oriented

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

If there isn't a club already in existence that doesn't meet your fancy, you're more than welcome to start one! Northwest urges their students to be leaders and connect with their peers.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

None, but the dorms act as sororities and fraternities. The bond amongst the different floors are like brother and sisterhoods.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

This campus is incredibly safe. We have 24-hour security who are always looking out for the students, and very friendly.
