Northern Arizona University reviews
33 Best abroad studying experience! Major in HRM, classes and faculties are way better than other majors. Tons of career opportunities, nice dining and living environment.
Study business here, and they won't let you down.
NAU faculty just do NOT care student’s future at all. Do NOT waste ur money. Go to another school. Plz.
Went to college here for a semester. The school was fine. The teachers were good. Overall, the people weren't particularly friendly though. The main reason I didn't stay was because of how unfriendly the locals were.
Campus was very dark at night and hard to find guest parking. As a visitor for a comedy event, it was hard to navigate. The campus did seem beautiful from what we saw and there was a restaurant near by.
Internet connection on the entire campus is super frustrating for the lack of speed, outdated technology which is really a struggle since lots of classes went from text books to online work spaces. Also chairs in every building are very unergonomic, I wonder how many people get backpain from these ancient chairs. Sorry for being so negative, but these are everyday struggles on this uni that interfere with study prestations
Proud to be a lumberjack! Love the education I received and the lifelong friends I made here. So thankful I made the decision to go to school here.
Great University with amazing options in natural science and elementary education. I recommend the forestry school. Whatever you do, choose NAU. It's literally higher education (6900 ft). It beats ASU and has tons of cool things to do around the area. Get out of the metropolis and learn on a higher level.
Oh, it's been a headache from the start! I really tried to make it work at NAU. I'm sure if you attend classes in person it's a different experience, but if you are a completely online student run far far away! It's really hard to get people to communicate at this school, especially if you are out of state and can't physically talk with people. Online programs are basically teaching yourself, no instructor videos. You pretty much read a typed up lecture. And that's really poor online learning. Save yourself the money and go somewhere else that does engaging online learning if you are looking for a graduate program or certificate.
Beautiful place to go to school. Staff aren't particularly helpful, but if you are willing to just do your own thing, this is a great area in which to live and learn.
Northern Arizona University is a beautiful campus with lots of history. My daughter and I toured the campus twice before deciding to come here. Very friendly stay and students, beautiful buildings and so much to do in and around the school. Once it snows, it becomes even more beautiful. They're constantly growing and building which means lots of employment opportunities as well.
I currently attend Northern Arizona University and I can honestly say it is the worst University I have ever been to. If you were considering attending this University, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The school is very poorly managed and many policies make no sense. Everything about this school is a money grab. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.
I was accepted into NAU at the beginning of January and I was so excited to be going to school at NAU. I was going to be about an hour away from my family and they had a couple of degrees I was interested in. After a month of no luck trying to get a hold of someone to give me advice on which degree I should pursue, I gave up and just picked a degree I thought would benefit me most. I then encountered problems trying to register for my classes I kept getting error messages saying I needed to call enrollment and every time I would call I would just be put on hold. After multiple times of being on hold for over 30 minutes I decided I would go to school at Grand Canyon University.
I'm a transfer student from out-of-state and although this is my first semester here I have enjoyed it. My biology advisor is amazing! Shes so helpful and knowledgeable I am looking forward to starting my dream career in the next two years. As well I am a single mom and living off campus, but NAU has helped with childcare costs which has been a blessing. The area is beautiful and I enjoy walking through campus everyday!
While I had some good teachers while I was there, there was a majority of teachers who didn't seem to even care. It's a beautiful campus but the school only cares about taking your money and they don't provide you the help you need to succeed academically. They've accepted more students than they can handle, if you want to get accepted and not have a good place to live and want to feel overlooked or unheard than this is the school for you.
I DO not recommend the online version of this school; it's the worst thing I have ever experienced. I had to take an online course, and the instructor kept changing instructions for assessments that were due. For example quiz 5 was due on 4/28th, and I had to read chapters 12 and 13 and a 48 page article; however, when I went to rake the quiz, he had changed the quiz number. So quiz 5 was not due on the 28th, now it was quiz 6, and i had to read another 60 pages plus a different article just within an hour. YES, I was checking the quiz link through out the day, and he changed it the a few hours of the quiz dealine. The same instructor posted a message that said students had 150 minutes to take the final exam, but when students entered the exam, they only had an hour and 40 minutes to finish the assessment. One student took an image of the instructor's message because that 150 minute post was deleted later. He then told students that because of the time discrepancy, he would not include the final exam grade in the the course mark, but to email him if learners wanted the grade added. In this graduate course, he had a hundred points of the final assignment mark for online multiple choice questions. To me, it's extremely rudimentary to have such standardized assessment in a graduate course; we should have shown our abilities by complaining essays and projects. In addiction, as working professionals parents, and students we need to have structure in graduate courses.in the end, I got a C in this course, which is the lowest passing for grade graduate courses. The university emailed me yesterday and said they have put a low grade hold on my account, and I will not be able to enroll in any future courses.
Update: I apealed their decision based on the fact that there was no structure in the course. They wanted proof, so i sent them the emails the professor had sent to his learners about the final exam.
Thank God they approved it.
There is no structure in these classes. One professor had other graduate students grading students' work and giving them feedback. The professor chose her own book as the coursebook. We had to review her book. I hope she cites the students' comments or ideas.
I feel really bad that this school is receiving one-star reviews from people because of the bible situation. Most of those comments are so horribly written, that I hope those people stayed in college and took an English class. Thank goodness this land was founded on freedom from religion and not the bible. I am also glad I do not have to go to the actual campus. It seems like online classes are okay and tuition is okay. Not to mention that the "loving Christians" are writing very hateful messages while calling others hateful. Pot calling the kettle black. Think before you write and spew ignorance.
The college its self is full of a bunch of the most rambunctious children. The school doesnt intervene when needed. They have these dorm ambassadors that do nothing. If there is a problem they just move people. Nothing more. They allow the mist immature behavior. Community college = less tuition, less drama and that can lead to a better education. No Lumberjack fan here.
This school is ONLY out to get your money. The advisors are absolutely no help when it comes to issues regarding the curriculum or credit hours for your program of study, and when you drop a class they hold your money for 45 days to determine how much more of that money they can take from you even when you drop prior to the start date. I WISH I never would have enrolled with this university they have caused nothing but headaches, and stress PRIOR to my class even starting! RUN AWAY!
There are very friendly people here, however the nonsensical regulation and democratic policy’s permeates throughout the campus. Not to mention the confusing, expensive parking permits and strict parking enforcement. I attempted to attend a NAU football game but was unable to because I committed the unconstitutional crime of bringing my backpack in. They will let in any other carrying accessory, except backpacks, due to “safety concerns. ” If this was truly a safety concern, then why didn’t they search my backpack when I offered? It’s because they were exposed for being frauds. There was never a safety concern, merely a financial concern. Screw this school and screw their moronic parking and “safety” policies.
Best College campus I've seen so far. Short distances to each of your classes, everything you need is on campus, small student body, high student-to-faculty ratio, and also year round excellent weather with a great community.
