Beautiful campus and nice people. I absolutely loved it. It felt down to earth and like we were at home. We traveled around 13 hrs from East Kentucky to get there. It was so well kept, clean and beautiful buildings and facilities.

Beautiful campus! As a parent of a student I am confident my offspring is safe, well-taught, and will be "Job-ready Day one" when he graduates. The way this school affects the community is profound and wonderful.

The staff and students were all so helpful and kind. Everyone was willing to stop what they were doing to help a fellow student out. I couldn't imagine my daughter going to a better college.

I stopped by the Delta-Nu TKE home. A little cloudy today but nice to see the house in good order and enjoyed a pleasant lunch with a few Actives at A&G. Their The Works pizza is still has good as it has ever been. The service is 5 Stars! A wonderful day!

Awesome school. Did both undergraduate and graduate schooling from there. Was a great learning experience and helped me grow professionally and intellectually. Though I did not get job after undergraduate degree, graduate degree definitely helped me get a promising job.

Here are the major problems that i had at Northwest. First NWMSU is expinsive if you live on campus. Those meal plans alright. The food gets old. Sometimes the food is low quality. Also the workers there are sometimes rude. Another thing is the textbook/laptop isn't really free. The fee is actually in your tution. Some teachers don't care about you. They are there for the money. Some don't even want to help you. It's hard to find a job here during the school year. So try to come up here during the summer. If your an music education major you have be in marching band. If you are not. You may get kicked out of the program. Like what happen to a girl that I knew. Also it could have happen to me as they told me I had to join this organization or I could to be kicked out of my major. It's really not a 10 minute walk across campus. It's about 15. So be prepared to be late if you have a class that on the opposite side of campus then your others. There's really nothing to do up here but party or go to the bars. I'm really not into that. So there wasn't to much for me to do.

Everyone helping us get our son settled in for his freshman year was super helpful. Things seemed to be well organized and all the steps flowed smoothly - obviously not their first rodeo!
