In three sentences | St. Norbert is a place for scholarship. The professors are very helpful and even kind. St. Norbert does a great job making the student feel like they are more than just a number. |
Tips for prospective students | Be ready to work. Your first days of classes will tell your professor a lot about you. Because they care, it is important to make a positive first impression. They won't go easier on you if you do make a positive connection, but you will have much better relations. |
Academic Rigor | St. Norbert's general education requirements stress the formation of a solid, rounded individual that is at times difficult but very rewarding. It forces a person to dive deep inside themselves to be successful. |
Dorm Life | Other than not being air-conditioned, the rooms are large enough for two people. I would advise not to live with a long standing friend. Because the dorms are so close to the academic buildings it makes early mornings convenient and possible. There is also very good heat in the winter. |
Food and Dining | I think St. Norbert has some of the best food out of any school I ever visited. Michels Commons is nearly state of the art, serving great tasting food in different varieties each day for each meal, except for breakfast. But who eats breakfast in college anyway? Haha |
What to do for fun | Well, there are many great Sororities and Fraternities on campus. They are not about drinking, but more about growing as a group through respect and communication. These groups are fun and offer many opportunities to be active in the community. |
Bang for the buck | With the highest quality of education I saw in my college visitations, this school offers incredible financial assistance that make the 36,000 check look more like 7,000-10,000 a year. It is better than any state of private school I looked at. Obviously, I received my aid based on academic merit and, but St. Norbert tries its hardest to make schooling affordable. |
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus | Homecoming is something that all schools do, but St. Norbert's is especially awesome. With events like Scream Your Theme and Air Bands, the whole school gets excited. There are 2000 students, so it is easy for everyone to get involved. |
Great for these types of students | St. Norbert is great for people who want to experience something that is incredible. If you want a college experience in which you can actually make an impact on the institution, St. Norbert is the place to be. Its great for people who want a big city nearby, but don't want to live in the commotion. |
Clubs and Activities | St. Norbert has a club or activity for everyone. There are constant intramural sports going on, and club sports like hockey, la crosse, crew, and water skiing are very popular. |
Greek Life | Greek life on this campus is the antithesis of what is seen in movies. Service activities that promote the college are at the core of each Greek group on campus. Just last year the TKEs organized a very successful run for St. Judes Childrens' Research Hospital. The stereotypical drinking and reckless abandonment is something that isn't attributed to any Greek group. |
Campus Safety | They don't do a good job. They don't really need to be great in the small town we are in, but they don't do there job. It is the worst thing about St. Norbert. |

In three sentences | St Norbert is a great small college which strives to give the best there is to offer. The college itself is an extension of the community so there is a lot of involvement throughout in many ways. The programs the college has to offer also allow the student to work and still finish in 4 years. |
Tips for prospective students | Check out the campus. Things are always changing, new buildings and programs. The campus is small, but not to small. The classes are great. One on one with professors is available at all times. Great learning environment, plus St Norbert is accredited worldwide. |
Academic Rigor | St Norbert has classes for everyone. You may take a light load or really challenge yourself with the harder classes |
