NU is a high quality educational school that prides itself on its culture, history and tradition, and ability to extract the highest level of performance from its students. The faculty is genuinely interested in the growth of the students and will go above and beyond to assist those who seek it out. The services and classrooms, as well as the housing, is kept in excellent condition making it a pure joy to attend school here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Choose either the traditional or cadet lifestyle and be prepared to be living in a fairly remote area of the state of Vermont. There are many extra-cirricular activities to participate in which are extremely helpful in making new friends!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I'm enrolled in the Civil Engineering Program. The course subject matter is extremely challenging but thoroughly enjoyable. The course load is very heavy, which at first is tough to get used to, but keeps your study ethic at the top of your game.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm conditions are fantastic with a new building just constructed and another underway. Even the older dorms (which I stayed in last year) are well maintained and efficiently laid out in relation to the rest of campus, The traditional dorms are co-ed which makes lifestyle conditions enjoyable for relaxing with friends during down times. There are various living arrangements (duals, trips and quads) to choose from starting in your Sophomore year. You can also choose your roommate/s starting then as well!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is served cafeteria style and while there is a large selection to choose from, the quality leaves a lot to desire. There is a Dunkin Donuts on campus. You can also have a microwave and cook in your room if so desired.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you are the outdoor-type, you won't lack for activities during your downtime. There are numerous hiking, biking, and swimming opportunities located all around the campus and within a couple minutes of town. The stream fly-fishing is fantastic in this area of Vermont and hunting opportunities are endless. The sports programs and fitness facilities on campus are second to none.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
NU is an expensive school but if the opportunity for scholarship monies come your way, it lessens the bite. When it comes to your education, the quality you get is incredible and world recognized. NU boasts career placement levels above all other New England schools at the time of graduation which is very important. Most schools that claim similar success rates, are based on placement within a year of graduation and not prior to. This is a huge difference because after all, isn't that the root reason to go to college???!!!!???
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
NU traditions are huge to the culture. Several traditions are unique to the school which I can't tell you. You need to experience them!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for those that want to combine a military lifestyle with educational experience. For those not into the military lifestyle, it's still a great school for those looking for educational challenges, an outdoors lifestyle or rural community.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Sports are an excellent outlet and activity. I play Lacrosse and have found that the camaraderie developed with my teammates transcends the field and continues both on and off campus
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I'm not involved in this so I can't offer any insight here
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
This campus is extremely safe and I have never felt uneasy even very late at night.
