A school full of intelligent people. I had the privilege of attending NNU for my undergraduate studies and am now studying at The University of Notre Dame. Small class sizes, caring professors, and excellent medical programs is what NNU has to offer. The university recently partnered up with Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM).
Overall 5
NNU is a small private liberal arts school, which means that the class sizes are small. The university has recently partnered up with Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine, which gives NNUs Pre-Med students a chance to interview with them. NNU is also home to Idahos best nursing and engineering program.
Overall 4.9
I graduated from NNU in 2015 with a engineering degree and got the opportunity to study at Dartmouth College School of Engineering. NNU offers an array of programs, all of which are highly ranked in the state. The professors care about their students and truly wish to see them succeed. I highly recommend Northwest Nazarene University to anyone.

Amazing school!
Overall 4.4
Despite Covid-19, NNU has done everything in its power to keep up with the reputation it has with its students and alumni. This rating is based primarily on previous years' experience, however, they have been very gracious all semester and continue to find ways to improve. We also got to stay on campus all semester!

Best school ever!

This campus is very beautiful and the size is just perfect to walk to every class within 5 minutes maximum. The small size is just perfect. Also the buildings and furnishings are perfect and modern.

Incredible, close-knit community that desires to build one another up in both relations and education.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.3
I spent an entire year living in constant fear in the dorms due to the atmosphere. Many people here feel threatened by those different than them, and lash out. One example is the massive backlash for a community chapel mentioning that you should just love LGBTQ+ individuals. I wish I could go to another school but unfortunately I can not.

It’s insane what this school gets away with, it should be criminal. 19k/ semester will get you some of the worst classroom settings along with the worlds worst Wi-Fi connection. There’s ALWAYS some sort of technical problem happening all throughout this university. Teachers are decent and most genuinely care about you, but everything else sucks

SCHOOL IS NOT GOOD

Don't come here under any circumstances. Miserable.
Overall 1.9
If you visit, they tell you all good about it and make it seem wonderful and caring. That's bullsh**. The professors don't care if you succeed, plus they talk about you behind your back to other students when you're struggling. It's illegal to reveal that info, but they do it. If you want to succeed and want a good experience, don't go here.

I don't really like this school at all and have been bullied at this school and told a professor and he didn't listen to me and said it may be my fault. Sadly, no nightlife here, and I much rather go to BSU, but can't because of my major and scholarships. I hate this school so much and even thought about dropping out, but for my goals it won't work
