NNU was a very great experience for me and I think others should experience life on campus here too! The student body is very involved and loves their fellow peers. The professors are very understanding with you as long as you communicate with them about circumstances and situations and things like that. The students are very fun and it is very easy to make a lot of friends here!
I am currently a junior at NNU and so far my college experience has been the best! NNU has many things to offer. The campus is small, which means smaller class size. NNU is also known for its engineering program. From what I hear many NNU graduates end up being admitted to their top graduate school choices.
