However, it does have an abundance of workstations, areas of which to study, and they even have rooms where you can use a blackboard to study with a group. Finally, they have various professional grade equipment here that you can use for special projects such as a supercomputer and other items. Best of all, this place has late hours, which is great for students who tend to work late into the night and require a computer to do research.

Great amenities, accommodations, and student support, but you'll pay for them. While campus housing…read moreis priced at the national average, living in a dorm isn't naturally peaceful. If you value quiet, you'll probably be disappoineted. Studying and sleeping can be difficult due to dorm noise. It's hard to get into a university apartment because there is a waiting list and units are typically reserved for upperclassmen and persons with specific disabilities. It is very expensive to live off campus. Plus, you would be paying out of pocket and must commute to campus even when it is icy and snowing. Campus parking permits are expensive. Flagstaff is generally over priced. Despite this, I am happy that I attended NAU-Flagstaff. I lived on campus, paid campus tuition, but got special permission to take all my classes online so I could have an open work schedule. (I was paying off a car and credit card.) It is hard to get a job in Flagstaff due to the overwhelming number of students trying to find one in a mountain town. Flagstaff is technically a city but it feels like a town. I completed a major in Parks & Recreation Management. My emphasis was Human Health and I did study abroad with NAU in Costa Rica. I am happy that I attended NAU for both the program and location, which is what brought me to the university. (I had considered PA and FL, but want to live in the Wild West instead.) However, I don't know of a single person who likes Dr. Charles Hammersley. His teaching style is so-so and his assignments often didn't correspond to our reading material-- like our own textbooks. I have had discussions with other older adults whom also have had professional jobs prior to taking his courses. All of us were in agreement that he was frustrating. Worse, he is one of the rudest people I have ever met and not open to feedback. He has a pretty bad reputation campus-wide. His courses were difficult not because of the material but because he is a difficult person. I am bringing this up because, by all appearances, it doesn't seem that NAU has done anything about his behavior although the university averages about one formal complaint about him per week. (I am friends with a person in that office!) What makes this a hardship on students is that he teaches the upper level PRM courses; so, you can't avoid him. Altogether, this affects your life and your GPA, causing unnecessary stress in a major program about recreation, health, happiness, and personal growth. It's ironic. NOTE: If you want a job a the ski resort, you'll need 4WD to get there. Most "cool" jobs and PRM-related jobs will require you to commute 30-90 minutes from campus. I moved out of state for several paid internships that provided cheap or free housing in the form of bunk houses, trailers, and historical adobe cottages. I also rented bedrooms from locals loosely affiliated with my employers. I have also lived out of my Prius for seasonal jobs. (If you do this, I would suggest an SUV with tinted windows or stealth camper van because car camping is often illegal. Doing out of a Prius was super uncomfortable.) Of all the college programs in the world, the only ones that I would ever suggest be completed online (after freshman year) are ones in parks, recreation, tourism, sports management, and hospitality. That's because experience matters as much- if not more- than the degree. If your program is offered online, you can work and attend college at the same time. These degrees are not rocket science.

It was a breeze moving the girls in for sophomore year at NAU.

Times are chosen by the student through the jack app so that move-in can be staggered. There are large Bins available to move items from the car to the dormitory. Some dorms do not have elevators, but the bins are still helpful because you're able to move items to the staircase. Doors are still locked for safety, which is a good thing. Use the jack app as a student for entry on your phone. There are always plenty of large dumpsters and extra dumpsters near the dorms during move-in and move out to easily dispose of trash and boxes.

It was so busy over the…read moreweekend (as it should be), and the whole place just has that cozy, small-town charm that makes you want to stay forever. It's quaint, unique, and feels like a hidden gem everyone secretly knows about. What makes it extra special are the handwritten staff reviews on select books. Like actual little love notes telling you why you need to read something. It's way more fun than just reading the synopsis and it feels personal, and thoughtful. They also sell, adorable book accessories, kids' toys, and other cute knick knacks. There's even a small sale section, reasonably priced books, and some signed copies that are clearly marked. It's right by downtown, so super convenient, but definitely try to get there early because parking garages and street spots can fill up fast on weekends. Overall, it's giving cozy, and I truly loved how much personality those handwritten reviews added. It just made the whole experience feel extra special and memorable.

So I have lived in Flag for more than a decade. Moved numerous times and have dealt with utility…read morecompanies such as APS, UES, Suddenlink, etc. All have been fine, until I had to deal with the City of Flagstaff Water/Trash utilities. I called in person to try and transfer from my old place to the new place. Doing this with other utility companies was quite easy and could be done online with no problems. City of Flagstaff on the other had, was a bit more cumbersome. I checked the website and wasn't quite sure so I decided to call. When I finally got a ahold of someone the clerk/person working the phone line was very curt and kept cutting me off by telling me, 'yOu nEEd to AcTIVate a NEw aCCounT!!!!' I even tried to get in a question about not having to pay start up fees since I have never missed a payment ever and always pay on time. More curtness from the person. So, a month and a half later it seems all is well, until I get a bill from them from my old place. I call and let them know that I activated a new account and the person over the phone was again, not very helpful nor understanding. 'We're sorry, but there is nothing we can do about it; we don't do transfers and you should talk to your old landlord to pay it. Sorry that the person was curt to you, but we can't do anything about it.' (They really emphasized that they couldn't do anything about it.) It's one thing if I was being a jerk about it or if I dropped the ball with other utility companies and had a history of being delinquent with my payments, but to be told it was my fault when people were rude and unhelpful is just plain frustrating. Especially at a time when money is tight and I live in Flagstaff AZ. City of Flagstaff needs to work on customer service and a more transparent way of transferring services/utilities in town.

I remember walking to a class that took place in one of these halls near the beginning of the year,…read morethere were nearly 400 students in the class and I wasn't really familiar with classrooms and or halls of this size. It's basically a giant movie theater. Other than the mere size of the room I'd say it was just OK. If you're someone who's okay with classrooms of this size then you'd probably do fine in a class takes place in one of these halls. Personally though, I didn't really enjoy it. I ended up dropping my class that took place in one of these halls because the size was just to big for my comfort. I did learn from the experience though. Next time I have a class to this degree Ill be much more prepared.

I never went to the bookstore though because it was out of my way. There's not much to say other than that. I think the perception of the college is very individual to one's needs. I only came here to take a few courses in person and online, and I found the process of attending to be easy and had a good experience overall.
