The location of my campus and the diversity of people that are there. North Park University is located in the 2nd most diverse zip code in the nation which priovides opportunities to interact with students from all over the world. Also, the variety of resturants is amazing and gives me opportunities to try many different types of food within walking distance of the campus. I love the variety of experiences this location provides!

The best thing about North Park University is the thoughtful, empathetic teachers. They try their best to help us grasp the concepts being taught. They teach in a way that we don?t have to ask a lot of questions to understand what is going on and most teachers call their students by their names! I heard a lot of college professors from other universities don?t even know their student?s names by the end of the course, but I had a teacher who knew all of his100 kids names by the second day of school!

The best thing about North Park is that you can be who you really are and be accepted in so many different groups. It is a Christian affiliated school, but I like it a lot because if you are not a Christian you are accepted just as much.

The academic community in my school really fosters shared learning. We all learn from each other.

I think that North Park is a great place to learn and grow socially and intellectually. There is a great balance of readily available social activities and an understanding of the private time needed pursue your class work. The students at North Park work hard, and their effort rubs off on all of the other students. It is odd if you do not perform well or at least try very hard with your studies. Because of the size of the school it is easy to create friends that last for a life time.

There is no best thing about my school in my opinion. I really do not like my school. Unless you are an african american guy, or an african american girl who drinks all the time and acts like you have money, the white people dont talk to you. they are very jealous and dont want to help the african americans out with their school work because they are afraid we will do better.

The school places high priority on service. North park is in an amazing community; one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Chicago, so living in Albany Park on the campus of North Park I am constantly exposed to so many different cultures. North Park is a Christian University, so you see that the religious background is important but never brings about any sort of discrimination or pressure to believe certain things.

the setting so close to the city and the size.

I enjoy the people and the community the most. The living situation that I am currently situated at is also the wonderful. The best thing is being able to learn at a higher education level.

Chicago was the best thing about my school. Being in the city limits allowed many learning opportunities to engage in the community and make a positive difference as well as explore and be engulfed in the culture of the city.
