Say Hello to Simon from Northwest Missouri State University!

Northwest Missouri State University will be touring all around the Netherlands, and is a great school  for you to visit. Don’t believe us? Hear from Simon van Rossum, a former international student at Northwest Missouri from the Netherlands. While at Northwest Missouri, Simon studied courses such as: Civil War & Reconstruction, The United States since 1877, and Promotion and Intercultural Communication. Here is what Simon had to say about his time at Northwest Missouri:

Overall Experience

“I sincerely loved my time at Northwest Missouri State University. Northwest is a typical campus college and a great place to make friends from all over the world. The campus has a tremendous support network, such as very good doctors and great teachers who are always willing to help.”

On-campus Sports

“The campus is surrounded with a beautiful environment and, what I really liked, many sport facilities. They have tennis courts, basketball courts, a calisthenics workout park and a great fitness centre. If you want to experience a championship game you should definitely go to Northwest as they have great athletes and teams who perform phenomenally and are always competing for the title.”

School Environment

“It’s a reasonably small campus which genuinely means your presence as a student counts and you will be treated with a lot of support and hospitality. Moreover, in a relatively smaller campus it will be easier to make new friends. The International Office organizes great events for students to meet those from other nations and to learn about their cultures. Once you start your major or study abroad program you will always be considered a Bearcat because their motto is: Once a Bearcat always a Bearcat.” This is a sentence that I genuinely will never forget and will stick with me forever.”
