Northern boasts one of the most beautiful campuses in the Midwest. Historic buildings blend with modern facilities, all centered around a park-like campus green. The campus is within walking distance of downtown Aberdeen, so students can easily explore the community of about 26,000 people. Aberdeen is growing, but still manages to keep a safe, small-community atmosphere. Try pheasant hunting, explore magical Storybook Land or watch a play at the historic downtown Capitol Theatre.
