North Park is an excellent university. After graduating from this school, I have no regrets about this school, I feel that North Park made me a better person. North Park made me work hard and gave me hope for the future. I got a job at the hospital as soon as I graduated. I'm becoming a success day by day and I give thanks to God and NP for that!

You can forget about going to this school if you are not a christian. Profs and peers will shun you if you're agnostic or athiest. Every prof for any class wants you to incorporate god in your essays. Manditory sessions about christianity. This university os a waste of time and money. Don't go here your credits won't transfer.

North Park's cosmopolitan bias is proudly exhibited to a shocking degree. Sad.

Some teachers are not that good. Only been here for two years and people look at you like you're crazy instead of saying hi. If I didn't have my friends from high school I would've transferred right a way. Food is not so good I have to drive far to get some decent food.

This place is like a high school. It is cliquey and there is NOTHING to do. It is religious, but if you're not religious there isn't much to do. The cafeteria has been closed for health violations, and what they feed you is worse than dog food. The dorms are infested with cockroaches. The faculty at the school itself are rude.

This school needs to stop spending money on stupid stuff and start accomodating the students the way it should be.

Transfers into the nursing program are given the hope of finishing in 3 yrs. The school boasts this. Once there, they then inform you of 2 required sems of useless religion courses, the transfer counselor willy-nilly "advises", you are wait-listed over poorly performing students, and a chunk of credits don't transfer to other schools. Money scam!
