Maria

I believe that there is no "kind" of person that should attend this school, everyone is different therefore everyone deserves the chance to be educated to have the opportunity for a better future. NAU does this for everyone, and it accomodates all schedules with the large variety of online classes and campuses available throughout all of Arizona.

The student's and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Someone who likes nature and walking and all types of outdoor activities would fit in so much at NAU. Someone who is also very intrested to study and get a higher education is also a trait that one should have if they plan on attending this niversity.

The kind of person that should attend NAU is someone who likes the outdoors, is kind, wants to attend a University but not a big one, wants their professor to know their name, and likes snow. Someone who wants to take interesting small classes, have access to a nice gym and healthy food, and is interested in being environmentally friendly should attend NAU. A person who is an Education Major or Science Major should attend NAU. Someone looking for more than the typical college experience should attend NAU.

Anyone can find their place at NAU. It is a school with such a wide variety of culture and people. I have met people from all over the world and from all sorts of backgrounds who excel at NAU. NAU prides itself on its' diversity programs for a reason: because they truly do work.

Sean

The type of person who should attend this school is appreciative of nature. The surrounding area is full of beauty. This person should prefer small class sizes, but many nice people. This person should be prepared for cold and snowy winter days but warm and beautiful summer days.

Tracey

A person who is prepared to be challeged mentally and physically. My first year at NAU, I have been challenged alot. By physically I mean that Flagstaff is known for having snow in the spring time. You need to have determination and toughness to drag yourself out of bed and walk through blistering winds and knee high snow. This is no place for someone to call in sick. Also this school is very community oriented , and getting involved only makes thing more fun. So pretty much showing up to get things done, be outgoing and have fun.

Rachel

A variety of people would feel comfortable at NAU. It's really just about finding the right fit for the individual rather that any particular type of person.

Bethany

determined person

Jade

Someone who is laid back and loves a variety of weather. Most people come here for the outdoor activities, but the environment here allows for people to just relax and read a book outside if they don't wish to participate in all the outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, skiiing, snow boarding, or ultimate frisbee. This is definitely not a party school, so anyone who wishes to focus on academics and close friends should come here.

Samantha

Someone who is extremely artistic and creative.

Evan

Those who like the outdoors.

Julie

Students who are serious about getting a great education that leads to an awesome career should attend Norther Arizona University.

colleen

The people that attend this school should like outdoor activities. The Flagstaff campus is surrounded by beautiful mountains, which are perfect for hiking, camping, or biking. The students and the professors at NAU are dedicated to their field of study. If someone would like to attend this university, they should be dedicated to their school work, like recreational activities, and be bundled up for the white winters.

Cera

People who are "hippies" should attend NAU. It is a perfect match. People who love winter activities. People who are interested in business, hotel management or forestry.

haley

I hate to say there is a type of person who should attend NAU, but there certainly is. If someone is thinking of attending school here, they should be used to unpredictable weather or be willing to get used to it. It may seem obvious but people who like sports and the outdoors are also good candidates for this school. Overall, NAU and Flagstaff are very laidback so the personalities of potential students should match.
