I graduated from Northwestern a few years ago. The art department is excellent! I couldn't have asked for more knowledgeable and caring professors. The only thing that discouraged me was that as a student of color, I felt completely out of place. I found myself conforming to the culture there, which consists mainly of white, conservative, upper-middle class folks. I felt a very strong disconnect between the other students and myself, sometimes even between the professors and me. Sometimes I'd ask myself, "What am I doing here? I don't belong here." I was an art major and it was only within the art department that I felt at ease. Everyone there was different, creative, expressive and open-minded. It was a little community of artists and I am forever grateful for that experience.

This school needs to adapt to the supply and demand of skills in the market workplace. There are more students than there are jobs demanding the skills that this college and colleges in general is teaching. For example, the MIS program focuses heavily on programming and not enough in other IT skills such as business intelligence, data analytics, business/systems analysis, and quality assurance. Sure, this program and its current state of heavy programming courses has worked well for most alumni's to get roles in both programming and non-programming jobs but that is not the case for some students that do not have that high of a GPA. These students will have a TOUGHER time finding a job in a IT role that they want because they were not given the ability to choose more courses relevant to their career choices as opposed to a student that is more technical savvy and understand technology in general better. Not saying that these students with lower GPAs won't find a job but just that it will be 2-3 times as tougher. Companies are looking for more than just programmers but yet UNW and colleges in general continues to push a lot irrelevant coding courses on them that they will never use. I have been out of this school for a while and not once have I have had the need to use java, xml, and visual basis nor did the roles I have interviewed for (from the IT topics I listed above) have asked for it. A lot of companies are hiring for business/systems analysis, business intelligence, data analytics, and quality assurance but programming is the main focus for this program. This program is still stuck in the 80s-90s. This school needs to start adapting to the supply and demand of the workplace market.

After spending 4 1/2 years at UNW my thoughts and experience would take a book to finish. But I'll try to be short. Pros. I loved most of my professors. I had professors who actually cared for my success and are willing to go out of their ways to help. Many of my professors knew me personally and I wasnt just a number in their schedule. Which I can't say my other friends from other colleges can say. UNW pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me realize what my passions are; through realizing how much I disagreed with the institution, but nevertheless I matured. The friends I've made. True and great friends who all felt the same. lol Cons: granted not every student is and thinks the same, but there's enough consensus to make me believe the school does way too little to better itself. Too much of the school thinks they're past racism. Whenever we reach a topic on anything related to culture or race we would have less than 2 days to talk about it while other topics used a week easily. Professors uncomfortability trumps the need to discuss out issues. Teachers have openly say diversity is the issue. 100% of school advertisement would showcase vast variety of diversity and multiculturalism, yet students of color makes less than 5% of the entire body. And 95% of the students in the advertisements don't even go to Northwestern. I know this because I know most of those students and they've graduated years ago. Academically it was subpar for the price of admission. Tuition jumped $10,000 within the time I was there. The school preaches love yet it's hard to find any. As a student of color, for years i felt so out of place. We were referred as a horde of animals, we were unvalued, and were expected to fit into that sameness the school holds on to. I've heard and seen many use their gospel to reject our presence. They're friendly on the outside but could care less about who you are. There's more I can say, but my verdict is this: if you like monoculture, ethnocentrism, expensive decent academics, and want to go back to your tiny town, then Northwestern is great for you. If you're a student of color who wants a supportive community, a student body that strives for cultural acceptance, understanding, and REAL gospel love equaled with high academic quality, go somewhere else. Save yourself A LOT of money.

A read a lot of these reviews that say Northwestern is "ethnocentric," a description that I feel is unfair. I have been a part of the Northwestern community since 2010, first as a student and then as an employee (yeah, my five-star review is definitely biased), and I have never witnessed this community, or any individual member of it, display an attitude of ethnocentrism. Okay, it's an evangelical community in the state of Minnesota, so there is a white majority here. However, I have seen a fair diversity of political and theological opinions among the students and staff of this school and I don't believe that a fear of exclusion should be a reason to avoid considering it. Speaking of politics, the students and staff tend to drift to the right on social and economic issues, just like the rest of evangelical America. However, there are many people in the community who are sympathetic towards BLM, and many more who are quite "anti-Trump." At the end of the day, we all share a Christian identity that allows us to happily (or at least peacefully) coexist. A more practical concern with this school that definitely needs to be addressed is the significant cost of tuition, a problem is not that unusual for private universities, especially faith-oriented ones. You probably shouldn't come here if you don't have significant financial aid, but the financial aid staff here are very willing to help secure as much of that for you as possible. A lot of students transfer here for their Junior year after completing their general classes at a much cheaper community college. Northwestern takes the bible and the Christian lifestyle very seriously. I personally don't agree with a few tenets of the Declaration of Christian Community (the DOCC) that students are required to sign. Students are required to completely abstain from alcohol and tobacco during their time here, even after they come of age. While I like that these products have no place on this campus, I do believe that this tenet needs to be amended. It's clearly a relic from early-20th century American fundamentalism, and I don't believe that students that can legally imbibe should be guilted into following a standard that is not commanded in the bible, nor commanded by their own convictions. Even so, as a student I followed the DOCC willingly and still had a lot of fun here. In conclusion, if you desire high-quality, Christ-centered education and Christian community, I enthusiastically encourage you to check out this school. If you want a secular, non-religious environment then you probably wouldn't be looking up this school in the first place. If you do come here, remember that you get out of here whatever you put in. Ask around for the best professors, build relationships with as many people as you can, give all ideas and points-of-view a chance, and get involved in a local church. If you do all that, you should have a life-changing, memorable time!
