This college is amazing. Go here.
Overall 4.4
NWC is well known for its standout education. I definitely felt well prepared (maybe overprepared!) for life after college. That being said, Northwesterns campus community is what makes this college special. Students are so welcoming and inviting, profs are encouraging & care about their students and the faith growth opportunities are abundant.
Overall 4.2
I love NWC! Of course, every school has its downfalls but I can live with it. Plus, these downsides open up more opportunities for fun memories with friends. My friends and I can drive to Walmart or the mall together. We can cook together when we don't like the food. We can play games together when the internet is bad. No matter what, I love it!

Going to Northwestern College was one of the best decidions I've ever made. I still maintain a lot of friendships with both classmates and professors. It's a community that'll be with a person where ever they may go.

Northwestern is a fantastic college. It shaped me as a Christian, established lifelong friends, and gave me the kind of education that makes grad school really easy. Sorry someone stole your stuff. I never locked my door (or car, a lot of times), and I never had anything stolen. But there are bad people everywhere...
