I very much enjoyed my time as a student at NAU. I did attend the university during a time of transition when the housing crisis for upper-division and even sophomore students began and when many construction projects began to obstruct the once beautiful scenery on campus. That being said, I had wonderful teachers in both my major programs as well as elective courses. The small-town feel of Flagstaff is just big enough to not feel like a small pond, but not huge like Tempe or Tucson. Students attending... Read More

First, NAU is really a school where you get what you make of it. The professors are wonderful if you simply go to their office hours. Talk to them and get involved with their research, you won't regret it. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus and in the community if research isn't your thing. The students are usually pretty friendly unless you're trying to get a seat on the bus during passing period. The engineering department also has great clubs and events for students, to... Read More

I loved the university I attended for my undergraduate degree. It was not a huge university so that it was not overwhelming, but it was big enough to meet new people and attend fun events. There is decent transportation to get you around the school for your classes, and the class sizes are fairly good. First year 101 classes can be fairly big, but afterwards it gets to be about high school sized classes so that you actually get to know your professor and your classmates which is nice. As far as the... Read More

I did the Elementary and Special Education Dual major program through Distance Learning at Paradise Valley Community College. I truly enjoyed the program. It was great for me because I had to work through my undergrad degree. The program was designed for people who were currently working or had families. I enjoyed all of my professors and classes, and I feel that the program truly prepared me for my teaching career.

I am an up and coming freshman at Northern Arizona University. I do not know exactly what to expect when I get there but I did go to orientation and from that experience I am able to say that It was a very welcoming experience. I had fun and met a lot of new people and I am very excited to go to college.

NAU has a great community. I was a transfer student from Santa Barbara City College. I traded the beach for the mountains and it was amazing. Since I was a transfer, it was a little bit difficult to make friends. It became easier once I started having smaller class sizes and started focussing on my major. Although the school seems big, the town is very small. By the time I was a junior, I pretty much knew at least one person in every class. I never had a problem getting into the classes I needed....

Attending Northern Arizona University is great over all! The school is constantly improving and growing and full of great students and activities too! One of the best parts was that tuition was locked in for your first four years of attendance. I made some of the best friendships of my life there. I never had any issues with academic advising or any professors. Of course, always read the professor reviews first when you can. At the very minimum, if you're willing to put in the time and work, you... Read More

NAU was a great university for me to attend. I quickly discovered my community and found wonderful supports. As a first-generation college student, I found NAU to be very helpful and understanding as I was learning the ropes of attending a university. I was able to make strong relationships with my professors and of course, the campus is beautiful.

I attended community college. I knew right away that I didn't fit the college culture. I just wanted to read and gain knowledge. I also wanted flexibility. When I enrolled in NAU's online program, it was the perfect fit. It was flexible and manageable. I went to the campus of NAU to graduate and felt immense pride.

Northern Arizona University provides an amazing program for Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language. Every professor I have come in contact with in this program has been an amazing instructor and genuinely want to provide NAU students with the best instruction possible. I can't speak for all programs at Northern Arizona University, but the English department (and all of the departments that includes) has been amazing in my experience!

Northern Arizona University (NAU) is a beautiful campus that is situated on a mountain at 7,000 feet! The campus provides an experience that is hard to find elsewhere. Meaning, anyone can go hiking, skiing, exploring, and swimming in the nearby rivers and lakes all day. The education at NAU is constantly improving and the professors and staff are dedicated to their students' success. I was able to ask any question about classes, graduate school, research opportunities, etc. and they would always... Read More

Northern Arizona University has some of the most wonderful teachers that really care about their students. I have never been in an environment as amazing as an NAU Psychology classroom. I always felt like my voice was heard and that what I had to say was important to both the students and the instructor. I took many interesting classes, such as Forensic Archaeology, Behavior of Animals, Group Behavior, the Psychology of Terrorism, etc. There is nothing like NAU.

Very bad school, they don't really care about students in need and if you have financial issues they don't want and don't try to help out. Been trying to get a hold to someone for nearly 4 months with no clear response. If you ever need help with a specific issue you will have to be direct otherwise I won't work.

Amazing School. The students are in small classes and have the opportunity to have one on one interactions with their professors. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a university experience with a meaningful relationship with your teachers.

Located on a fun mountain town with plenty of hiking and is quickly expanding. At the time I began studying at Northern Arizona University I had small class sizes of about 15-20 students. In the coming years, this quickly grew to a 30-40 student class size. I was an honors student and a Interdisciplinary Global Program (IGP) student. The engineering program felt underfunded at times, but I had great instructors that gave me an overall great experience.

Northern Arizona University (NAU) was an excellent school! I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a major in Finance and minors in Psychology and Spanish. The W.A. Franke College of Business is an impressive college within the university where I spent most of my time. It offers coursework that teach students the fundamentals of their chosen field but also supplements these concepts with real-world applications, which is highly valuable for today's business environment.

I attended Northern Arizona University from 1998-2002. While I began with a major in journalism, I changed my major to Elementary Education after my first semester. Like many people, I did not always appreciate the required general education courses I had to take before I began my studies that focused on my major. Although, I will say that I now appreciate the general knowledge I received taking the courses. The Education college was amazing and had such dynamic, world class professors teaching the...

I thoroughly enjoyed attending NAU and living on campus. I lived in Tinsely Hall which was one of the best dorms on campus. I made a lot of good friends and those friendships helped me grow as an adult. The curriculum at NAU was great. I loved all of my teachers and learned a vast amount from them. I enjoyed Flagstaff very much and may decide to move there one day. My father, may he rest in peace, also loved Flagstaff.

NAU is a wonderful institution and the upper-level Anthropology courses were both challenging and intellectually stimulating. Not all colleges offer five sub-disciplines to choose from including Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Applied Anthropology. The opportunity to specialize can be a great tool for post-graduation career opportunities. As an undergraduate student, I grasped the concepts of human social, cultural, biological, prehistoric,...
