Categories Comments Campus Safety Northwest State has great campus safety. Services include: escorts to and from their vehicles, vehicle jump-starts, unlocks and stop-bys.
Greek Life Northwest State doesn't really offer greek life but they have many other great student organizations that you can get involved in.
Clubs and Activities Northwest State has numerous intramural programs such as basketball, volleyball, bowling and many more. They offer student organizations such as evMotorsports, honor societies and community outreach programs.
Great for these types of students Working adults Single mothers Students looking to get a great education for less. Students wanting to commute to and from school, while living at home. Students who would like to have more one on one time with instructors. Students who are not ready to go to a large campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are a lot of great opportunities on campus but none are unusual from any other college.
Bang for the buck Northwest State is a very inexpensive school. The courses are at the same academic level as more expensive schools so you are getting the same education for less. Completing your associates at Northwest and transferring to a larger, more expensive college will save you money in the long run.
What to do for fun Northwest State offers clubs and other great programs to the students. Northwest State offers intramural activities such as basketball, flag football, ping pong, volleyball and so much more. Around the area you have shopping, bowling, go- karts, YMCA, Sauder's Village and other great recreational parks and swimming pools.
Food and Dining Northwest State offers a cafeteria on campus as well as local fast food and sit down restaurants in a 5 to 15 minute radius of the campus.
Dorm Life Northwest State does not offer dorms. If you want a college dorm experience you could find roommates and rent an apartment in a surrounding area.
Academic Rigor Northwest State offers a variety of classes. The courses are not easy but with the extra instructor time and smaller classes these classes are easier to follow. Unlike large universities with 100's of students in one class, Northwest State gives your the ability to ask questions in class rather than after the lecture. If a student does not understand the course material the instructor will set down and help them rather than telling them to get a tutor.
Tips for prospective students Starting at a community college is a great way to get use to the college experience. Make sure to meet with your academic advisor before you first semester. They are very helpful in explaining what you need to do as well as helping you make the right class choices. Be sure to complete your financial aid papers on time. Northwest State has a lot of different papers that you have to fill out compared to other colleges.
In three sentences Northwest State allows more one on one time with students with there smaller class sizes. They also offer great opportunities for adult students and students with children. Northwest State has a day care facility on campus as well as offers a lot of online and night time class.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Northwest keeps two armed security officers on staff at all times. They will walk you out to your car if you choose, and they monitor all activities inside the school at all times.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Engineering building has the go-carts students build on display for enjoyment
Bang for the buck Northwest has one of the lowest tuition rates for classes I have found.
What to do for fun Northwest has a comfortable common area for students to study, play pool, ping-pong, or just watch t.v and socialize.
Food and Dining Two cafeterias keep a great selection of the foods you like and goodies to match
Academic Rigor If you stay commited to your studies and yourself you will not be wrong.
Tips for prospective students Do not pass up free tutoring that is offered to you. Create a good relationship with your teachers, they will help you succeed.
In three sentences Northwest State has been the best move I have ever made in my life so far. The classes are small so personal time with teachers is outstanding. Northwest welcomes students with open arms and i am greatful to be here.
