This is a very academically rigorous school and the quarter system doesn't make it any less challenging, if anything it makes it more difficult. However, this doesn't take away from the school. Everyone here is so passionate and welcoming, no one wants to see their classmates do poorly and people are always willing to help one another out.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take advantage of free time to get ahead on school work. Quarters go by fast and before you know it you have three midterms in one week and not enough time to properly study. While stressful, with the quarter system you get through classes you may not like faster.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes here are fast paced and difficult. The professors are super helpful if you are willing to seek out help and there are many places to get assistance if you need it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Some of the dorms are super nice, new, and clean. Others not so much, but the community in all of them is great and makes even the bad parts of dorm life fun!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Overall the food is awesome! Way better than most colleges (we're ranked #4). There is always a wide range of foods to choose from and you can usually go a whole week without having the same thing twice.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always a play, show, or event going on around campus. Weekends are always fun as after a week of stress people want to cut loose! Never a dull moment here.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a club for anything you could possibly want to do or learn how to do. While some clubs are hard to get into, most are very accepting and want new people to join.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Very big here, not your typical kind of greek life though. It's more lowkey and accepting of people, but it is a very big deal here.

Between cops, NU security, and saferide you will always feel safe here.
