What are the popular events and traditions at University of Northwestern-St Paul?

Homecoming and Christmas music programming are among Northwestern's recurring campus events. Homecoming brings alumni and current students together around scheduled activities and athletics; seasonal concerts reflect the university's active music and choral programs.

These events offer different ways to take part in campus life, whether by attending, performing, volunteering, or reconnecting with classmates. Specific programs and dates change from year to year, so the current university calendar is the reliable guide for planning a visit or participating.

What are the student housing and dining options at University of Northwestern-St Paul?

Northwestern offers college-operated housing for undergraduates and campus dining options. About 61% of students live on campus under the reported housing measure, but the availability of housing does not mean every applicant is guaranteed a particular room or building.

Before making an enrollment decision, students should review the current residence options, housing application steps, eligibility rules, and meal-plan terms together. A room assignment and a dining plan can have separate conditions and deadlines. Students considering an off-campus arrangement should account for commuting time, transportation costs, and lease obligations rather than comparing rent with a campus room charge alone.
