What Students Are Saying
I would urge prospective students to come visit NWC! It really has a culture of its own and is not like other schools. Also, it is a place where your faith in Jesus has the opportunity to stretch and grow, so if you are considering coming here, be committed to your faith. Overall, NWC is a great place to grow academically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and vocationally. I love it here!

Try to make good friends your first few weeks, and get involved in as many programs as possible. I recommend Streetlight and Campus Outreach, as well as intramural sports!
Allison from Houghton, NY
Definitely take advantage of the free tours and activities offered to those interested in attending Northwestern. You will learn a lot, and meet people who sincerely want you to succeed in life.
Joseph from Eagan, MN
Try to get a lot of scholarships, apply for as many as possible! Do well in high school, take challenging courses.live on campus as well, it is a lot of fun.
Elizabeth from Dassel, MN
I wish I could go to school full-time, but the focus program is perfect for busy adults.
Michelle from Spring Lake Park, MN
Students who are considering this college should attend as many campus visit days or activities. Familiarizing yourself with any college will help the process of eventually selecting a college. Also, speaking with professors and administration can give you a feel for the college.
Grace from Hastings, MN
Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and try new things! The more you're involved in, the less you have time to be homesick or think about what you're missing at home! There are tons of things to do around campus and lots of people to meet!
Megan
Definitely get involved in your hall, including all of the fun dorm activities. These will probably be your closest friends. Also, join a music emsemble or sport teams to meet other people - even if it is an intramural team (those are really fun!!). Also, open up to people - nobody is going to judge you and that's the best way to get close to people that you'll keep as friends the rest of your life.
