"I chose Northern Arizona University because it has very good engineering programs, is located in a really beautiful city, and the people here are friendly and easy going. I like the campus which is very beautiful, and the professors are doing a good job to help students (like me) to broaden their horizons."

" I chose NAU because of the HRM program. I knew in high school that this is what I wanted to do. The teachers here are so nice and have worked in the hospitality industry. The program requires you to do 800 hours of practical experience to prepare for the workforce, plus there are so many elective classes to take ranging from spa and resorts to casino management. "

" PIE is a good opportunity for international students to improve their English. When I arrived, my English was not good and I have improved a great deal in PIE. All the teachers and students are really helpful. They are also really nice."

“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.”

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!
