Northfield: a Safe and Quaint Little Town
Northfield, MN is your typical cute small town. It has many unique restaurants, including delicious Indian and Asian restaurants. A sub shop called Hogan Bro's is frequented by many students. Almost every restaurant is local, with few franchises. There are a few local bars, but clubs do not really exist. There are two locations where outside groups can put on dances and have proved to be good entertainment for many students. The town is very safe and it's easy to get involved in the community if that's something your interested in.

Hogwarts
The dorms are normal college dorms, nothing fancy. However our student center, science building, and languages buildings are all relatively new. The gym facilities are very nice, with ample space. Our campus has been said to be the equivalent of Hogwarts. It is very gorgeous during all seasons.

Transportation Is a Bit Difficult
We've got one bus that runs between Northfield and the college, going to the center of town, Target, and Cub Foods. The most helpful mode of transportation, especially for going out are the Northfield taxis. Although we're a pretty decent distance from town to walk, many people drive their cars to town. Also, we don't leave campus that often so transportation is not that big of an issue.
