Northwest Nazarene University is distinctly a Residential Campus, and proud to offer that to you! We have found that one of the best ways to get an education and develop as a person, both in and out of the classroom, is to live and learn on campus with your peers. We offer a full-time, well-trained staff of professionals who live in community with you, to help each student learn, connect and grow.
You will discover the value of an on-campus experience by the relationships you will establish when sharing a room, hanging out in wing and hall events, parties, small groups, Bible studies, community service, study groups and the time spent living in a community that shares your goals, experiences, and values.
Economically, living on campus will help you as you establish your academic career. Residential living provides clean, updated living spaces, with utilities, internet and phone all included in the semester costs. No commuting costs, no monthly billing to worry about, just a conveniently located room or apartment with free parking, security and shared indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering with friends.
We look forward to you joining our community and becoming a vital part of our campus.
