Sports and fitness
Northwestern’s campus and the Orange City community offer lots of options for students who like to stay in shape. There are pick-up basketball and soccer games on campus throughout the week, and students make heavy use of the indoor track and exercise and weight rooms in the Rowenhorst Student Center. About 1/4 of our students are on intramural teams. Orange City has several fitness centers and walking trails, an outdoor pool and 18-hole golf course.
