Northwestern State University has always been my number 1 choice for school. Being here has definitely showed me why that is. There are so many opportunities for everyone. You aren't limited to anything here. The food is also great, there are a number of options to choose from.

I wouldn't recommend anyone coming to this school because housing is always full. On top of that the Wi-Fi on campus sucks, most of the elevators are broken, and the teachers here aren't compassionate. You can find places off campus but even still it's hard to get a job to pay bills. If you're trying to be social this isn't the place to be.

I have had issues since my first semester here. Not only is there nothing to do on campus, there's nothing near the location AT ALL. Administration at this campus NEVER took me as a serious adult. I always had to involve my parents to get anything done. Many teachers took pride in making life more difficult for you. I wish I would have known.

Gotta like the rural country to be here cause there is literally nothing around here outside of campus.

I am not exaggerating, terrible college. some of the professors are decent, but do yourself a huge favor and don't go here. if you're a country bumpkin that doesn't care about learning, being happy, or having decent people as friends, yeah maybe come here. Campus is run down, there's nothing to do around here either. Safety isn't taken seriously
Overall 1.7
There are no inclusion of online students in clubs or anything else. We have to fend for ourselves while they tote being online friendly and military friendly. I had to fight for basic military life events to be acknowledged for help. The VA office people aren't helpful or nice and give out false info at times.

Everything about this place is subpar.

Location is lacking for sure. Located in the middle of central/north Louisiana which is total dive town USA. Several hour drive really from any decent happening city. Not hating just stating.

This school is great if you can coming from a small town, but if not, do not come here. There is not much to do here. There are about two bars that people actually go around here and people do the same thing every weekend. The teachers that I have had here are okay, but there is always room for improvement.

NSU has a decent size campus, decent professors,and student activities/organizations. However, most of the buildings are extremely old, especially the science buildings with very old and dated equipment. About the only nice building is the business school. Although there are some good professors at NSU, many are sub-par.The best thing about NSU is
