Major: Math

"NAU is a great platform for students to discover or showcase their talents. One of the many reasons I chose to come to NAU is its ability to provide personal attention to each and every student. The professors and students are very friendly and welcoming. Another advantage of attending NAU has been the fabulous landscape that I discovered by attending outdoor events that are hosted at various times during the school year. Attending NAU has given me the confidence and skills to succeed in life along with some fun experiences and friendships that I will cherish forever."

"NAU has a very beautiful, unique and conducive environment for learning. The professors in NAU are dedicated in making you succeed and improve in your academics and major.  I also like NAU because it is pretty close to anywhere in the city with a small population and many friendly people. It is a nice experience for me and am getting more excited and delighted about choosing Northern Arizona University."

Marjin

Major: Psychology

“My best moment of the day is after I wake up and walk to the library or class.  The sun, the sky, mountains.  It is a beautiful view.  I really like the environment and Flagstaff is near a lot of big cities that you can go to; California, Las Vegas, Phoenix. I would advise all students to join a sports team especially soccer.”

“I really like the class size; classes are not too big at NAU. I know my professors; I speak with them; my relationships with my professors are very important to me. At a larger university, I would be lost. At NAU, I know my professors, I have friends, and I enjoy my classes."





Jia

Major: Finance

"Studying in NAU is the best decision I’ve ever made. All the people here are so friendly, they try their best to make international students get used to American life. They took me to go to Grand Canyon, to attend an American wedding… they help me to explore my new life!
Absorbing knowledge from intelligent professors in a quiet, beautiful city has always been my dream. Now, I’m making my dreams come true."
