Take A Closer Look At Private Education A SMALL, INCLUSIVE CAMPUS COMMUNITY Sure, there are a few elitist holdovers, but the vast majority of private college campuses are friendly and inclusive. JOB-READY GRADUATES Many private schools offer career-focused academics; strong career-preparation resources before and after graduation; and active, wellconnected alumni networks. AN AFFORDABLE EDUCATION Often, private institutions offer larger scholarships and grant awards to more students, offsetting higher tuition rates. Attending a private university may end up being more affordable than a state school. (At NSU, we also offer a variety of payment plans to meet your student’s needs.) STUDENT-ATHLETES THRIVE If your student wants to play college sports, they will likely spend more time on the field at a private college. And, special bonus: they’ll be held to the same high academic standards as the rest of the student body—with greater academic support resources. SMALL SCHOOL, BIG OPPORTUNITIES With smaller class sizes and student-focused professors, it’s possible to forge more personal relationships that can lead to bigger workstudy, internship, and professional opportunities. Smaller colleges also offer better access to on-campus leadership experiences. Private colleges offer students more options. But there are a lot of misperceptions surrounding them.
