I have had a very pleasant experience at NWC thus far. The campus is fairly small, yet clean and a great community atmosphere. I would recommend anyone to visit for themselves. The dorms are in decent condition, great facilities and classrooms, food is average, professors are very helpful and personable!
Overall, my experience at NWC has been short as I have only been attending for one-semester class and one summer class. The time there was very well. The teachers and staff I have met have been very respectable and nice. It is a faith-based college, which is also a plus. Everything we do it centered around God and our calling that God has asked us to do. I think I really am going to love my next year attending classes their full time this fall. The teachers will make my time enjoyable with their positive and helpful character.
My experience at Northwestern College has been different than what a normal college experience would be like. In the two years that I have been in Orange City, I have grown immensely. Northwestern has given me a deeper love for God because I have been introduced to new ways of thinking and seeing the Lord. I view my education in a Christ centered way that integrates my faith into everything I'm learning. Putting my faith in Christ first and foremost is helping me immensely to have peace that surpasses all understanding in times of chaos.
