love this school
Overall 4.9
I transferred to NU and it is the best decision I have ever made. There is always something to do and there is such a happy and friendly vibe. The food is also great. Also the best thing is, if people ever do have a compliant or suggestion, NU will always work with you to make you happy. Also the campus is super safe and well cared for!

Great college! Definitely recommend to anyone. The opportunities, experiences social activities, and clubs are only few of the reasons why NU is such an amazing school to go to. Coming to Niagara is just about one of the best decisions I have made. Never fail to feel like I am right at home.

Niagara is a great place to learn with caring professors and staff. The mission is about service to the poor and they are an asset to the community.

I LOVE NU. The community at NU, professors, activities, and food here are amazing. I've heard that people are not fond of the food here, however, from my experience staying on residence for the year, the food is really good. There is always wide selection of foods available at the dinning commons and in gally. I honestly do not want to leave.

School is just bad.
Overall 1.3
Terrible location youre stranded without a car, teachers are mainly adjunct and only care about leaving after class, my advisor of 4 years still doesnt recognize me, food is truly the worst Ive ever experienced, I go over my data every month bc the wifi never works, buildings are falling apart, I wish I could go back to freshman year and transfer
Overall 1.6
Food is terrible, staff is terrible, lack of diversity, located in the middle of no where. Overall a horrible experience.
Overall 1.7
The nursing program is terrible. Nobody there knows what they are doing. They tell the public “it’s amazing and one of the best around” but they are lying.
Overall 2
The dorms are disgusting. You cannot control the heat in your rooms either so they are very cold. The food is awful and many people I know have gotten sick multiple times because of it. The staff are not what they seem to be and most are very unhelpful. I would not suggest going to this school, and if you do I do would not dorm at all.
