Iowa���s Northwestern College is a small Christian school of around 1,000 undergraduates associated with the Reformed Church in America, offering ���spectacular academics,��� an ���authentic staff,��� and ���a lot of different traditions that combine to create many activities that are extremely fun.��� Academics are ���tough, but in the best way possible.��� The curriculum ���encourages us to pursue our faith through our academics,��� and classwork often asks that students reflect on how their Christian faith is ���connecting with literature, translation ethics, evolution, rhetoric, social justice issues.��� Students also cite the resources available to them across campus, including ���an incredible student tutoring program��� wherein those individuals ���who succeed in classes are selected as tutors and assist other students in their coursework.���

Going along with that are the ���helpful, understanding, positive, cheerful, and informative��� professors at Northwestern. Students say professors ���are committed to learning how their students learn best and take the time to help each student get the most out of their courses.��� Classes incorporate numerous teaching materials, including ���film, literature, or hands-on learning,��� and some even end up ���using the outdoors as an extension of the classroom.��� Several others ���merge different subject areas together to make a new way to think of things.��� The school ���does a wonderful job at offering a variety of opportunities for spiritual and faith development,��� and many courses ���integrate case studies to encourage students to apply what they are learning to real-life situations that could occur in their future profession.���

The people of Northwestern are ���committed to their studies and are well-versed in many different areas.��� They���ve built ���a community on campus, [one where] faculty, staff, and peers are very welcoming and accepting.��� The ���loving and trustworthy people��� who compose the ���very social��� student body are ���passionate about building relationships that make a difference.��� To build those relationships, students will ���go out of their way to get to know you and help you through whatever troubles you may be having.���

The school sits in a small town, so ���people are really good at coming up with their own forms of entertainment.��� Much socializing is done over food, and students ���try to gather as many people together for each meal, including the secret fourth meal of the day: Pizza Time.��� Even regular activities are far from mundane: students ���love going to the local coffee shop to get off campus,��� ���Walmart runs are pretty common,��� and ���board games are also popular.��� When it���s warm out, ���the green is a popular place for hammocks, slacklining, spike ball, and other activities.��� Turning inward, the school has ���amazing facilities and [seems] to always be getting new buildings on campus,��� and ���the vast majority of people are involved in extracurriculars such as athletic teams, choir or band, or theater productions.���
