REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingIf a student wants to learn at Northwestern, the opportunities are here. The teachers (for the most part) are more than willing and always ready to help when needed. People always want to say that small schools do not teach as much, but I know I am learning more than some of the people I graduated from high school with who are at larger universities with graduate assistants as their teachers.
Myka from Ponca City, OK
I learn something new every time I go to class.
Seth from Edmond, OK
Coming to a smaller town from a larger town I just have to say this... Dont expect to have lots of stuff in town to do. Be a good student, study hard, and play hard with your friends. Also go to club meetings or try out for a sports team!
