Student life at Northwestern is so much more than just studying. We believe academic and classroom learning is only one part of the college experience. So much of your life—and learning—happens outside of the classroom.

• Late-night conversations with your roommates
• Playing broomball on the lake
• A life-changing message in chapel
• Rehearsing with the choir
• Running laps with your fellow athletes
• Meeting up with your buddies at lunch
• Serving the homeless in Minneapolis with your brother and sister halls
• Writing for the student newspaper or hosting a radio show
• Serving your class as a student senator
• Praying for your professors

These are just a few of the experiences that will remind you that life isn’t just about you and what grade you get in Western Civ. It’s about plugging in, developing your relationship with Jesus and others and putting your faith to action by getting involved.
