A balanced education

Northwestern has given me a better environment to focus on my academics and athletics. I have also been able to form strong relationships with my peers and coaches.

Growing in faith

Since Northwestern puts faith at the center of everything, it has been very easy to stay focused and grow in my relationship with God. The school holds me accountable for developing my faith.

Future-focused

I feel I am well prepared for the future. The solid educational foundation I’m getting at Northwestern will help me succeed in any career I choose.

Added value

I have gained a deeper connection with Christ during my time at Northwestern. I have also received excellent training in soccer due to great coaches and facilities.

“I have gained so many more things from Northwestern than just a fabulous education. I have grown in my faith every year, I have met incredible friends—including my wife—and established relationships that will last a lifetime, and I have grown in my musical skills. Northwestern is truly an amazing college.”

Joel's story

“I applied to be part of the Honors Program for several reasons, one being that I wished to give myself the best opportunity to be pushed and to strive to achieve the highest of honors. To not challenge myself at this stage would feel as though I’m selling myself short. What makes this program even more desirable is the faculty; I appreciate that my professors are scholars who wish to promote the growth of each student.”
