NA campus

The city campus of NA provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Chicago has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students.

The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. The educational institution has a developed athletic infrastructure. Students can practice on sports grounds, as well as in one of the clubs. Foreigners who come to NA through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
