Building a Vibrant Community

---

If you were to ask any of our students what their favorite part about Northwest University is, they would likely say the community, without hesitation. This answer is not surprising, because building a strong and tight-knit community is something NU is very intentional about. Students who visit campus are invited to experience our community, and if they decide to attend Northwest, they are welcomed into the NU family by supportive peers and professors.

This is seen most clearly in a few specific pockets of community at NU:

Students spend much of their time in the residence halls. But it’s so much more than just a place to live. The residence halls are a place where lasting friendships are established and cultivated. Every dorm floor has a unique community, and each student plays a role in making this community the supportive and accepting place that it is. Floors do more than just live together. They invest in each other’s lives.

Northwest University is committed to the spiritual vitality of its students. The ability to come together in worship is something we greatly value as a community. Chapel and worship nights are held throughout the week, but that’s just the start. Faith plays a role in the daily lives of students, both in the classroom and in their personal lives. Northwest University is not just a school, but a community united in Christ.   

At NU, your professors will know more than just your name. They’ll know you. Northwest University’s small class sizes allow for conversation, not just lectures. Professors care deeply about their students and form meaningful relationships with them. We believe this is the best way to learn, and at NU, you’ll receive this opportunity.

At Northwest University, you don’t have to look far to find community. It’s found in the residence halls, in chapel, and in the classroom, all of which contribute to forming the Northwest University community as a whole. We’re a community shaped by our wonderful students and faculty, brought together by a desire serve God.
