North Park University is a really great campus to get your college education. It is full of the latest technology and is full of diversity. I feel these are what makes this university so unique! The professors are extremely caring and are always willing to help out if needed. It is located in Chicago which is definitely a plus. There are so many things to learn about and explore in this big city. The people are truly amazing and this makes my college experience so rewarding. The opportunities are endless. North Park is located near the home of the Chicago Cubs! It was an awesome feeling to be part of the World Series 2016! I am only a sophomore at North Park, and I hope I am given the opportunity to graduate from here. The tuition is very expensive for me, but I'm trying my best to get really good grades and apply for available scholarships.
The games are a draw for social life. Its a great place to connect with friends and cheer on more friends! North Park does a great job keeping students aware of the schedules and activities that surround sports like the tailgate parties before football games. Soccer games are another big draw for spectators as the team has been winning some games in recent years. It is always fun to cheer on the winners in a game, but at North Park it is just fun to cheer!
North Park University has been rated as the Top 50 Christian Schools of the Midwest. It is not only known to be in the heart of the beautiful city of Chicago, but it is extremely known for it's culture and diversity. It is easy to gain friendships for a lifetime and be able to networking with many people, as well as professionals that will give you tips on gaining employment and internships. I have started as an undergraduate student here at North Park University and it has been a phenomenal experience. Plus, there have held many sports events, networking events, Chicago adventure events, and so much more! The small intimate classes makes it very challenging since all of the attention are is coming from the professors and they are helpful towards any assignment difficulties.
