Northwestern College is a wonderful college with faith integration and a very rigorous academic programs. The professors here are highly qualified and genuinely care about every student they encounter. My experience here so far is fantastic and I am loving every minute of it. There is a large variety of clubs, sports, and activities to take part in! Every student here contributes to our community. Community is a large part of Northwestern and you will here this at least three times a week. Warm cookie Wednesday in the cafeteria is also great. If you are looking for an awesome but challenging school with faith integration and challenging academics then this is the college for you!
FAKE "Christian community." Some of the faculty were rude and pushed their political agendas using snide comments about the president DURING CHAPEL. Students and Orange city residents were hateful towards different people whether it be because of race or sexual orientation. Also both students and residents of OC were EXTREMELY judgmental. Many of the students also very snotty as well. Food was horrible, dorms too small. Etc, etc. NOT worth the money. On the bright side, the professors were caring and intelligent.
As a queer person at Northwestern College, I felt very unsafe. I could not be myself on this campus. There were some wonderful professors who were incredibly supportive, and I am so thankful they were there. Those professors are the only reason I am giving two stars instead of one. Northwestern is not a safe place for queer people.
