NW Missouri State

"Northwest Missouri State University has given me a family that I will take with me forever. I loved how many opportunities I had in which I could make friends, interact with people from different multicultural backgrounds and locals. The diversity of students, organizations and perspectives allows for a more open mindset and decreases stereotypes.

Furthermore, this is a place that worries about student’s success; Staff, Professors, and Directors worry about YOU specifically, they want us to truly learn in class, they provide tutors, and extracurricular activities for us to feel a sense of belonging. Personally, I loved the associations I was able to be part of, my internship experience, work, and classes, they all prepare me to maximize my full potential. I can say NWMSU have made me growth socially, academically, and professionally. Come join the Bearcat family! Is an experience you will never forget."

"Northwest is great in so many ways. It is in a small college town very conducive for learning while still being close to the big cities like Chicago and Omaha. The scenery is so beautiful especially during Spring and there is always something interesting to do on campus. Furthermore, the cost of attendance (tuition) is very affordable. As such, I now see Northwest as home and regard myself as a part of the Northwest family."

"Northwest Missouri State University will always be a most beautiful part of my life as where I met so many good people of diverse cultures. I can proudly say that I had made some very good friends from different countries and different cultures who helped me grow more in my life.
