Overall 4.3
yes the internet connection is being improved but everything else was great. I loved everyone and felt appreciated and accepted, not judged or teased EVER! Def feel the love here. It's also a really safe campus one of the safest by crime stats. The community is great too but only down side it's not much of a part area..

I've lived in Belmont all my life and have only gone to Belmont schools. I love the neighborhood mainly because it's an area where most young adults don't want to be in, which I love. I wanted to go to a school where I would have no distractions and would get my things done on time. NDNU is a great school and I've enjoyed my time there.

This is a smaller private university and as such gives great individual attention to students. It has a beautiful campus and excellent devoted faculty. I have loved every minute of my education here.

The schools internet is horrible, its better to run off your cellphone. Parking is a joke and the speed bumps will case you to bottom out if you drive a car. The registration is the worst! If they mess up they wont refund you. They don't care about anything except for your MONEY!!!

Parking is easy to find on campus if your early. The place is always quiet and very few students come out from their dorms. It kinda has like a high school atmosphere. The library is huge, but needs renovation. The wifi is nonexistent, but there are a lot of outlets. I feel like everyone is just minding their own business and not much happens.

My best advice to future NDNU students is to be extremely sure of the degree you want to obtain here. Know what you want to accomplish and how much time you want to spend accomplishing your goals. If you do not I personally guarantee NDNU will screw up somewhere to ensure that you'll have to take additional classes atyour expense.

Internet is terrible. GYM? what gym! I might as well do push-ups in my dorm. Sports teams suck. Girls are fugly. No one cares about grades and everyone's a moron. There is no future and this school will suck the life out of you till you are a depressive or near suicidal. Career center sucks. Advisors make u take wrong classes. This place sucks

This school was a mistake. I really regret blowing a year here. Too easy academically and so much drama on campus and even with faculty. It's so small that you know who ate what for breakfast. The area is okay. I did enjoy the easy access to the Caltrain to get into the actual city. Leaving was the best decision I made before it was too late.
Overall 1.7
Worst decision I ever made. Think hard before applying here. While I loved my department the overall quality of this University and the people who head it up is a step below poor. In my opinion if the Sisters of NDNU really truly knew what went on behind the scenes they would have this place shut down. Very sad.

I transferred to NDNU in 2012 did my time and graduated in 2014. In my time there I kept to myself as it was hard to make friends because it felt more like a high school than a University. The friends I did make didn't survive past graduation. The faculty in my program were pretty good, I just didn't get the quality upper level education I paid for
