Beautiful campus with lots of history. Very friendly students, hundreds of organizations, new activities almost every day, and so much school spirit. NSU has its own police department on campus who will jump your car, drive you home if you need a ride, break into your car if you locked your keys in your car, and all the officers are very friendly.

Great place to start off or even finish with college. The town itself is a nice little area that is big enough to get what you need done and mostly to be able to do what you want. Moved to Tahlequah for NSU but stayed because it feels like a great place to raise a family.

I absolutely love my university! The location is amazing, and you have a constant opportunity to be in nature to just get away from school for a bit. I never knew so many social clubs could exist on one campus. There is literally a group for every interest! I never worry about my safety because I pass at least 3 campus police everywhere I go!

Bad reviews

A lot of people gloss over the sexual assault and harassment and what little is done to prevent or even bring justice to. If you're a person of color go to a place more diversified, they say they are but quickly you realize they aren't.
The facilities are not good, water leaks or mold. Food gives food poisoning. Spend your money else where.
Overall 1.7
Not the best. Reminds me of high school, sadly. As in, the students here are very conservative and close minded. Teachers are great though, when people say you are more than a number here they are not lying. However, the campus itself needs improvement. Old run down buildings with roaches, mice, and sometimes bed bugs in the dorms.

There's nothing to do. Tahlequah is literally in the middle of nowhere

Since online (and the advisors) reassured me I would be able to get my degree at the BA campus, I was happy. I work in Tulsa, my child goes to school there, so it worked in my favor. That is, until I saw the selection for the BA classes. 34 classes are at a different campus, hours are cutting it too close to commute. No online classes either.

NSU just wasn't my place. Standards are rather low, and true learning is discouraged. "The status quo is just fine, and we don't care about changing it much."
