5 of 9
Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety was good at the Tulalip Site.
Greek Life Their are similiar texts like the Legends and Myths of Native Americans. Also the words that are found in the science books and also mainstream literature.
Clubs and Activities Student Cultural Awareness Club
Great for these types of students Anybody that wants to know about Coastal Native American Tribes. Their customs and way of life. Anybody wanting to know about Tribal History and the past history of the relations between the United States government and the Tribal Soveriegnty's within the United States. Anybody that wants to know the truth about history and an indigenous view point on sciences, literature, writing, and all educational programs in academia.
Bang for the buck Tribal institutions will tell you the truth about the history of this country and also give you more insight about what is the truth behind all sciences and education in academia.
What to do for fun At the Tulalip Site we would throw evnts within the student club and with the help form the tulalip staff. We would do book readings, open mic poetry and music nights within the community. We would also go to other colleges to speak about being native and also native scholars at Northwest Indian College
Food and Dining I heard the food is good but repetitive
Dorm Life I do not know about dorm life at main campus but heard it is good
Academic Rigor Tribal college is somewhat different that mainstream colleges due to seasonal events within communities. The classes are good and great teachers.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to order books before term starts or go to the book store on main campus. Make sure the degree program you are entering has the right classes that you need to graduate.
In three sentences I loved the students and staff because of support and comfort. I did not like the online book store and Tulalips Tribes mail system. Some in the beginning of registration, I would be late to register because of the wrong classes for degree program.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have multiple pow wows and other Native based campus events. There is a lot of chances for students to become involved on the campus;.
Bang for the buck The tution isn't much for Native students. The facutly and staff make sure that you get what you pay for.
What to do for fun There are a lot of Native based on campus activities. The campus is also placed close to the waterfront which has a beautiful view of downtown Bellingham. It is a little further out from the city but Bellingham and Ferndale are close by for students to have fun in other activities.
Food and Dining There is the dorm cafeteria here on campus but there is also Anna's Kitchen which offers both students and staff the opportunity for homemade lunches and dinners.
Dorm Life It is a great place for students who are new to the area and school to live. It makes it much easier to get to and from your classes and be a part of on campus activities.
Academic Rigor Students who take classes full time have a much more rigorous work load than those who don't. Also students that are parents and are employed also have a more rigorous academic life.
Tips for prospective students Get admissions and testing out of the way early. Make sure that financial is complete and that you communicate with advisors and other staff. Lastly make sure get involved on campus and in the community.
In three sentences Northwest Indian College is great for students who are looking to learn more about their heritage. It is also a great school for Natives looking to get an education that they can use in their tribes. Lastly is great for students who like smaller classrooms.
