Very little diversity. A few Asians are starting to come to Nampa. Hope they can fit in.

NNU is a school with definite pros and cons. It is a small, liberal arts university, so you take a wide variety of classes and have very small class sizes. Most of the people are friendly and open and professors are very accessible. Be warned: NNU is known for their academics, so coursework can be slightly more difficult than at public universities.

However, there are some drawbacks. While the small size is nice, the university is isolated from the rest of the community in an almost "cloistered" way. While you don't have to be Christian to go here, it is a Christian university and I have experienced conflicts before about my differences in faith. Especially off-putting at times can be the stress that is put on preventing "immoral" boy-girl relationships. You have to sign a "lifestyle contract" that you will not drink or have sex (unless married) and can be punished with fines for having people of the opposite gender in your room outside of visiting hours.

The campus is big into athletics, despite not having a football team. The surrounding town does not have a lot to offer, but Boise is within a 40 minute drive. A lot of people want to leave because they think there is nothing to do, but plenty of activities are available if you want to get involved. In the end, your NNU experience is what you make it.

NNU prepared me to think and to be well rounded. I now look for the "B" student when I am hiring. Enjoy college and expose yourself to many more areas then just your major. I always looked for well rounded, flexible, adventureous and fun loving employees. I don't want technicrats.
