Northwest University Top Questions

I wouldn't go as far as to say things are "frustrating" at Northwest University. Stressful? At times, yes but never frustrating. The most stressful thing is the tuition, and making sure i have loans, etc. Northwest University has been my dream for the past few years. I couldn't imagine myself attending any other school; I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. However, tuition is extremely high because it is a private University. I would say, tution being $34,000 a year is by far my biggest stressor/or "frustration".

I would have to say the cost of getting an education.

Living off campus and being outside of the traditional age group of students can lead to feelings of ailenation. Those living on campus have a great advantage of meeting and living amongst other students. However, there are growing opportunities for off campus students to come together and get to know one another, as well as those on campus.

The most frustrating thing about Northwest University would probably be the price. I understand that it is a really great Christian, private school, but comparitvely to other universities it is very expensive. Also, a lot of students who get accepted to Northwest, have to say no because of the price, and the fact that there aren't a lot of scholorhip options for them. Fortunately, Northwest recently got a huge donation and were able to give more scholorship funds out to incoming students.

With over 40,000 students and only about 10,000 spaces allotted for student use, the most frustrating thing is definitely parking. Students with afternoon classes leave two hours before their class even starts to find a coveted spot. If you are in a parking garage and seemingly walking to a car, do not be suprised if you are either a) stalked by at least two cars the entire way there with horns blayzing as you pull our or b) asked if you want a ride to your car so that lucy driver can take your spot of ground.

The most frustrating thing about Northwest University is some of the rules that are set forth to the students. One such rule states that we are to refrain from watching any rated 'R' movies on campus. The rule is to ensure that we are growing as much as possible and not offending those around us. However 'M' rated games are not forbiden, they are even allowed to be played in the lounges. It seems contradictory as many psychologists have shown that it is the violence in games that causes youth today to act more violent, not movies.

Most money is spent on the school itself rather than the students. We could have better dorms and better food in our cafeteria, but they spend it other places instead. It's good that they are so focused on helping us learn, but an improvement in our living arrangements would help greatly. Also, they are not open to as many 'new' things as I would like. I am very environmental friendly. They are trying, but the most we have is dorm floor recycling. Not even in classrooms or the cafeteria is there anything like that available for student to use.
