  • Information about the ways financial aid can make your Northwestern education more affordable
  • A majors and activities fair where you can talk with professors, coaches and directors

Use this address with your GPS to arrive at the right spot: 102 6th St SE, Orange City, IA. That should take you directly to our main campus entrance, but just to be sure you find us easily, follow our campus signs for “Visitor Parking,” which can be located with the directions below.

From the stoplight intersection of Hwy. 10 and Albany Avenue:

  1. Go N on Albany Ave. for one long block, then turn left (heading W) on 6th Street SE.
  2. Go W on 6th for one block and make a left (heading S) into our main campus entrance.
  3. Look for red “Guest Parking” signs along the entrance boulevard as well as in parking lots on either side of the boulevard. (Guest parking is available along the east lane of the campus boulevard as well as in lots marked “A” and “P” on our campus map.) 
  4. The Vogel Welcome Center is on the NE corner of the entrance to campus. It’s #9 on the campus map. Inside you’ll find restrooms, snacks and a warm Raider welcome!
