Why NNU students live on-campus:

Northwest Nazarene University is committed to the development of the whole person, as evidenced by our four institutional Learning Outcomes: Christ-like Character, Academic Excellence, Creative Engagement, and Social Responsiveness.

We believe it is necessary for our students to be immersed in community living for significant personal encounters to be possible. In community, students are challenged to develop and demonstrate the four outcomes, are shaped by and contribute to campus life, and are expected to integrate their classroom learning experience with their life experiences.

Residence hall living helps foster the above goals, while also enhancing the development of personal identity, relationship skills, thoughtful decision making, leadership qualities, and community interdependence and care.

Numerous studies from universities across the nation indicate that students who live on campus enjoy a more rewarding and successful college experience. Research reveals that on-campus students earn higher grades, are less likely to drop out, and become more involved with extra-curricular activities and campus personnel.

All of these experiences contribute significantly to a student’s education; therefore Northwest Nazarene University has made residential living part of its educational design.
