    Northwest is amazing! The teachers really care about what they want for you to get out of going to college and want to prepare you for bigger and better things. The teachers actually care about you and want what is best for you but still letting you get to know yourself. They prepare you for what to expect in your years at Northwest. They also teach you about what to expect from universities for those that want to move on and further their education. The best part about Northwest college is they want you to take advantage of all the resources that they offer, such as the TRIO program, TRIO is probably the best thing ever invented. Everyone at Northwest from the students to the faculty are amazing people and I am so glad to attending Northwest.

    Very motivational and understanding professors.
    A lot of programs and opportunities for international students. Beautiful campus with a lot of trees and flowers. A lot of events happening every week! Everything is designed to help students: we have residence hall assistants, international students coordinators, advising center, etc.
    The professors really know you. They take their times to help you with any problems. The people in the town are very friendly and helpful. I love to hang out with the community members. We have good academic programs. The college provided me oppotunity for the internship. I receieved scholarship throughout my internship program. I learned many things through my majors that is anthropology and archaeology. Also, the Northwest College provides variety of courses, which help students prepare for the future study. The advising center and my advisor help me in the process of transferring to the four years university.
