When it comes to life at North Central, no day is typical!
Your morning might begin enjoying smoothies with friends. After psychology class, there's a Cardinals in Action meeting, then studying at the Wentz Science Center. There’s dodgeball after dinner followed by a late theatre rehearsal at Pfeiffer Hall. With so much going on — including events, athletics, service projects and dozens of student clubs and organizations — you’ll realize that what you do outside the classroom is central to your experience here.
A place to live, share and do
At North Central, you’ll find a vibrant and caring community where students collect donations for coat drives, debate cases on the Mock Trial team and simply relax by playing laser tag. Sharing experiences, helping others and making lifelong friends are hallmarks of student life at North Central.
