Here, students find a stunning natural environment and a welcoming, tight-knit community that feels like home.
“I’m not used to people being so friendly in India. At least from where I come from in Mumbai, it’s a city, and it’s a fast city. People don’t have time for you. But when I came to Flagstaff, I was like, wow, people randomly smile at you. People are so friendly. They care about you. Now, I cherish that.”
Live on campus and be at the center of the action
“NAU is kind of a home away from home. It’s not too far, but also not too close. It’s beautiful. The campus is something that I was immediately attracted to. The faculty were extremely welcoming.”

Diverse: Issues in Higher Education
“As an event programmer, I’ve been the planning force behind some of our biggest concerts, important speakers, and fun events for students. Here, I’ve had to push myself by learning to make hard decisions, direct a group of people, and think creatively. I feel like I’ve accomplished exactly what I wanted to do—create memorable experiences for others. Along the way, I also reshaped myself into a more confident person.”
