Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Philosophy  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I was an online student, majoring in Liberal Studies with a Humanities emphasis. The coursework was more rigorous than I expected (I had been away from college for 25+ years). The work wasn't that complicated, there was just a lot of it. I got more out of finishing my bachelors' than I expected. I was very pleased, on balance with NAU. Do stay away from the part-time instructors though.

It truly lives up to its nickname: NAU (Northern Arizona University)actually stands for Not A University! This is so very true. Very poor administration, advisers, professors, staff, etc. All this school cares about is the bottom line. They want $$$$$$$ and want to give nothing in return. They use and abuse students on a daily basis. The few good professors are either leaving, looking for another job or will be retiring soon. The degree programs are a joke. You either get told your degree means nothing or is worth very little once you are out in the job market. NAU is frowned upon by many employers and if you attempt to get your Masters at another school you are more than likely going to have to repeat many classes that you took at NAU. Why? Because they use lots of grad students to teach classes and sign off on those classes. Those class are not accepted on the Masters level...even at NAU itself. Yep..that's right. NAU will not honor some of its own classes if they were taught by a grad student which means you will be paying NAU twice for the same class. NAU IS A HUGE SCAM! NAU is combining schools to save money, but aren't increasing the number of professors, majors, advisers, housing, etc. Campus housing is deplorable with mold, poorly trained staff, heating and cooling problems, fires in dorms every year and much more. The cost is just below living off campus. The family housing is unacceptable and rundown. You can't get a roommate change unless that person chooese to leave or dies. Most of the dorms are old, dirty and disgusting. During the winter there is no snow/ice removal which results in many students with injuries. Be ready to pay for medical bills due to poor winter maintenance including the flu and colds because you won't have any hot water for weeks. Don't even attempt to live off campus as Flagstaff is not student friendly. A one bedroom starts at $800 and goes up quickly. Cost of food, clothes, toiletries, etc ...are out of sight. Living in this community will put you so far in debt you may never get out. The community does not support the students in any way. Instead it sucks the life out of students like a vampire. There is no industry with the exception of tourism and that is almost non-existent. Run, run, run away from NAU. If you decide to attend NAU be sure that all your classes can transfer in and out of NAU. NAU will claim that many classes you have taken at another school don't transfer. Then they will make you take a ton of classes that later you will find out.....won't transfer to another school as anything other than electives. NAU sucks! NAU truly is: NOT A UNIVERISTY!

The town is beautiful the city if full of fun things to do, beer festivals, outdoor concerts, snowboarding, camping, great restaurants, parades, fairs and more. College is what you make of it, I got to NAU went out and met people, spent time off campus and downtown and loved is so much I stayed for 2 1/2 years after graduation. The school is safe and fun and I have met the best people ever while attending NAU. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Innovation: B+ Have a Question?

If you have come for a one on one education, then you are in the right place. If you have come just for partying or wasting money, this is not the place. NAU will be as good as you make it, and I highly recommend it. Education Quality: A+, Campus Maintenance: C+ Have a Question?
