Northwest Nazarene University (NNU) is a private Nazarene university in Nampa, Idaho.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 60% graduation rate means four in ten students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a manageable $16,826, and the small campus size (just over 1,100 undergrads) means you're not getting lost in the crowd. Worth considering if you're drawn to a faith-centered community and want personal attention, but ask hard questions about academic support and what's driving that attrition.
