Hey, does anybody here attend North Park or have you visited the campus? I was wondering what you thought about it since I was considering it as a possible college to attend. Thanks so much!

I believe I visited this school back when I was in high school--but that was a few years ago, so I don't remember very much from the visit. Overall, it didn't make much of an impression on me: I wasn't particularly impressed, but also not particularly turned off.
If you visit it yourself, you'll notice that they have a very small campus, even for a private school. Because they're in the middle of Chicago, there isn't very much room to spread out, so everything is pretty compact.
If you talk to anyone from North Park--an admissions counselor, for example--you might want to ask whether or not they admit non-Christians as students. North Park is definitely a Christian school, but there was one college I visited where I was told during my visit that both Christians and non-Christians are admitted, even though the faculty is made up entirely of believers. (It was either North Park or Concordia University in Ann Arbor, MI). I don't know how that will affect your decision, but it's something to consider. (Do you want to attend a Christian school where all of the students are Christians, or where only some of them are?)
Other than that, I can't really tell you anything; you will be able to get much more information from the university itself.
