Northern Arizona University Top Questions

Anyone who wants a good experience

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is a person who is expecting to get something for nothing. A person who doesn't believe in working hard or going the extra mile should not attend NAU. NAU's students are driven and determined. A person who is not career driven or goal oriented should also not attend this university.

Anybody can belong at NAU. There is a diverse group of students within the student body. As long as a person is looking for friends, they will find them at NAU. The only person who should not attend NAU or any college is one not willing to participate. College is what you make of it and if you choose to sit out then you will fit in nowhere.

I believe that just about anyone can attend this school provided they can find the drive and determination within themselves to do so.

This is a very accepting school, everyone I have met was either already or became open minded. Northern Arizona University caters to very diverse personalities and everyone feels welcome. However, if you are opposed to cold weather, you should stay away from this school.

The person who should NOT attend NAU is someone who doesn't like the cold as NAU is located in Flagstaff, Arizona where it is recommended that one bundles up before going outdoors in the winter months and there is the potential for substantial snowfall.

A person that doesn't like cold weather, or fun.

A person that doesn't like the cold shouldn't go to this school, because the university being in the mountains gets really cold.

Any students that do not want to work hard should not attend this school. If you are dedicated and want to do great this is a perfect school for you.

Someone who likes city-living and is not interested in the outdoors should not move to Flagstaff. I knew some people who felt bored in such a small town. NAU and the Flagstaff community are very accepting and I think a lot of different kinds of people would feel comfortable there. I knew conservative business majors and hippie social science majors and everything inbetween. There are quite a few Native American and Hispanic students, but not a huge amount of diversity other than that, However, I do think people of any nationality would feel welcome at NAU.

People who love the outdoors.

This university is not that big so if you are looking for a huge university to attend, this isn't it. Also don't attend if you are looking for hot becuase this university is in a town with four seasons. Otherwise I would recommend this university to anyone.

Someone who deserves and wants to attend a private school that will provide a more elaborate education to students.

People who want to attend a very large school.

Because Northern Arizona is in a high elevation area, it does get very cold and it does snow. This year did not receive as much snow as last year, but there was still a good amount. If a person strongly dislikes cold weather, wind, rain, or snow, this is not the place for them. I actually am one of those people, but I can honestly say that I have learned to love it, especially because it was all a new experience; mainly the snow.

A person that enjoys the city and is not a big fan of nature and/or is very focused on their studies and not so much into smoking or drinking should not attend Northern Arizona University.

conservative, people who hate the snow

A person who can't survive the cold (it was -22 here on New Year's Eve) and that doesn't like hippie or green cultures. Someone who doesn't appreciate the feeling of an old downtown surrounded by all the features of a big modern city (Walmart, freeways, etc.) or the high altitude effect on breathing, cooking, etc.

Someone who doesn't like the outdoors and physical activity. We're basically like Colorado in terms of physical activity.

The type of person that should attend this is school is anyone. There is every type of person here and it really is just a place to be yourself. You will not be scared of being judged here everyone one is really down to earth, friendly, and nonjudgmental. People do love the outdoor activitiy though here because of the moutains people take advatage for hiking, snow activities, and any other thing you could think of to do for an outdoor activity.
