Everyone on campus is very friendly and they will all make you feel at home! All the professors want you to succeed, and it shows. The food on campus is great, and the dorm rooms are perfect. Getting to know everyone is just apart of the college experience. I would recommend Dakota State University to anyone who is interested in college!... Read 296 reviews

Sophomore: My experience with NAU Online has been quite positive! Despite the fact that the courses are entirely online, having a dedicated success coach and professors who genuinely care about your success has made a significant difference. The quality of education isn't compromised in the online format; NAU puts in considerable effort to ensure their online courses are engaging. Many of my classes incorporated discussions, fostering connections among students. Another great aspect of NAU Online is the accessibility of success coaches whenever needed. Admittedly, the courses heavily rely on students' self-motivation for completing coursework, watching lectures, and building connections, which could be challenging if it's unfamiliar territory. However, for me, the benefits of NAU Online far outweigh any downsides!... Read 436 reviews

Sophomore: The school is pretty good overall. I attended online, and the tools available were par for the course - some are very good, some are not-so-good. The school has knowledgeable teachers, though some of them are not as responsive to requests for assistance as you might hope.... Read 2 reviews
