I graduated from Northwestern a few years ago. The art department is excellent! I couldn't have asked for more knowledgeable and caring professors. The only thing that discouraged me was that as a student of color, I felt completely out of place. I found myself conforming to the culture there, which consists mainly of white, conservative, upper-middle class folks. I felt a very strong disconnect between the other students and myself, sometimes even between the professors and me. Sometimes I'd ask myself, \What am I doing here? I don't belong here.\ I was an art major and it was only within the art department that I felt at ease. Everyone there was different, creative, expressive and open-minded. It was a little community of artists and I am forever grateful for that experience.

Any college experience will mostly be what you make of it, and who you choose to spend your time with. Northwestern provided excellent resources for academic and spiritual growth (legit professors, excellent dorm community, daily chapel opportunities, and local outreach ministries). But, the professors you take will change your experience a lot. So, choose carefully, ask for advice from older and more mature students, and spend time planning your schedule. Don't expect your advisor to help you pick the best profs who might change your life. I went through the engineering program, which was amazing. Wouldn't want anything else. The academics are good here. But I also invested my life in the community, hall ministry, leadership opportunities, spiritual growth, and God did great things. It is incredible all he did in spite of all I am not. Northwestern provides an environment for much potential, but it isn't everything. Rooting yourself in a local church will be of the utmost importance and it was equally important in shaping my time at Northwestern. Finding godly mentors and role-models is also a top priority. Last note, if you have godly roommates who are zealous for the gospel, living on campus will be an equally life-changing experience. It's worth the extra cash.
For being a “christian” college their staff is incredibly arrogant and seems to in fact need Jesus. The athletic director did an excellent job at presenting the school as a hostile and disrespectful environment. I have never witnessed a “professional” get so emotional over something as minuscule as parents/family stepping on turf while waiting to greet their kids after a sporting event. It is completely inappropriate to escalate such an insignificant situation to point of yelling at parents/families. I will pray for this sensitive athletic director and hope no one else steps on his godly turf.
I am a current student, and love every minute that I am on campus at Northwestern. I also work close to Northwestern, and no one has every told me that they had a bad visit at this university. I truly enjoy the high level of education, athletics, and religion. The college stands up for many great things, and gives many different things a good name.
Very nice campus. Excellent teachers. Welcoming community. Tuition is high, but the quality of education is well worth it!
