Meet Northwest Missouri State University
One school that will be attending all of these fairs and touring throughout India and Malaysia is Northwest Missouri State University. Which was recently ranked No.21 by the U.S. News and World Report’s list of “2018 Best Colleges” in the Midwest. Below are some of the reason why they were recognized as one of the best in the Midwest and why you should seek them out while at your college fair.
A University Where You Can Succeed
One thing that most students don’t think about before they attend college is if they’ll succeed at a new school. Understandably, most of you are wondering what school will you be accepted into. It’s important to know the school you attend has teachers who care about your success and classes that are challenging.
At Northwest 74 percent of their students complete their degree on time in four years. Their freshman class has a 70 percent retention rate, which places Northwest in the top third of their national peer group. This means that students who attend Northwest are successfully completing their degree. When attending school fairs make sure to ask about their retention rate and how they help their students succeed.
Campus Beauty
One of the most unique features about the Northwest campus is their arboretum, a large woodland campus. If you’re someone who enjoys the outdoors and gardens the campus is home to over 1,700 trees and more than 130 species. In fact, the campus was placed in the list of “50 Most Amazing University Botanical Gardens and Arboretums in the U.S.” by BestCollegesOnline.org. Students enjoy walking through campus and passing these large beautiful trees. The campus also has an outdoor recreation area where students can kayak, use a ropes course and practice archery.
Campus Safety
One thing you can be sure about while at Northwest is your safety! According to the Safewise it’s one of the “Safest College Towns in America.” City Manager Greg McDanel says, “It’s an asset to our community to be one of the safest. Maryville is a safe community. It’s a place you can send your students and your children and know that they’re going to have a safe education experience during their time in Maryville.”
Affordability
One of the coolest parts about going to Northwest is included in your tuition cost are your books and laptop. This saves a student an estimated $7,300 over the course of four years. Students that are unsure what books to buy at the beginning of the semester don’t have to worry. Their books come bundled and packaged, all students have to do is pick them up. When students pick up their very own laptop it’s just as easy and comes with the latest software needed to be a successful student.
