Life in South Florida
Between our undergraduate and graduate programs, NSU offers more than 120 different degrees. But, for some people, the degrees that matter most are found on a thermometer. So how does 77°F sound? That’s the average temperature in South Florida, which means when you’re not in class you can be outdoors all year round. You’ll need that time to experience everything South Florida has to offer.
There’s hiking, biking, fishing, boating, and windsurfing, as well as endless open-air festivals and concerts. Fort Lauderdale Beach is 15 minutes to the east, and the Everglades are 15 minutes in the other direction. You can be on Miami's South Beach in about half an hour. In three hours, you can be screaming your lungs out at one of Orlando’s theme parks or chilling in the Florida Keys.
For sports fans, there’s professional football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. For foodies, there’s casual waterfront dives and world-class gourmet cuisine. And if you view shopping as a competitive sport, then South Florida is the Olympics with funky flea markets and some of the world’s most exclusive shopping malls and boutiques just minutes from campus.
