Northern Arizona University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Northern Arizona University? Why?

Maria

The worst part about my school would possibly be that I attend a branch campus in Yuma rather than the actual campus in Flagstaff. I am missing out on the "college experience" for the reason I cannot afford the tuition and living expenses. At the same time because of this, most of my classes are online and I really have a hard time learning on my own. Other than that I am very happy with my school.

Maddison

The worst thing about NAU is their advising department. They are not very clear & do not care if you graduate on time. I am now on my fifth major because they were not properly helping me. I now have a counselor that is being helpful and will help me graduate on time. Unfortunately it is not with the major that I wanted. But financially I cannot stay longer.

Lorraine

The location of the University made living very expensive. The city of Flagstaff, AZ is a very touristic spot, so restaurants, apartments and entertainment are pricey.

Cynthia

I have yet to experience anything negative about my school. Thus far it has been a seemless transition and all of the staff have been easy to work with and accomidating.

Travon

The weather is the worst part about being here. If it wasn't so cold I would not mind being here.

Janette

Probably the lighting at night. Even though I could see it stil felt like it wasn't lit up enough. The reason being for lighting control but I feel safter when walking when I can see a little bit better.

Rachel

The worst thing about NAU is the bus schedule. They try to space out the buses so that they come every 10-15 minutes so that everyone can get on a bus and no one will be late to class. But sometimes 3 buses will come to a stop all at once, or there won't be one for 30 minutes. It's poorly done.

Marc

Despite the pessimism and audbile graons from my peers, I have actually had a great experience at NAU. The one thing that bothers me most about my school my seem like a fairly small thing, but it really bothers me; the vending machines never seem to work. There have been more times than I can possibly remember where I have been banking on being able to buy a coffee in the morning, or a gatorade after a workout and the vending machines do not work. It not only bothers me, but other students as well. They should fix it.

Samantha

I think the worst thing about my school has to do with the meal plans freshman living on campus are required to buy. The meal plans are not cheap and the transfer choices are limited, so the food options get old really quickly. They are also not the healthiest options.

Jordan Rae

The worst thin about my school is that there is not many Honors Program Halls to choose from. As an Honors student I love to live in the Honors Halls because there is a strict 24 hour quite zone. However, there is only three Honors halls and two of them are strictly for freshmen. This is a negative effect because all freshmen honor students are now trying to get into one building for next year.
