Use this address with your GPS to arrive at the right spot: 102 6th St. SE, Orange City, IA. That should take you directly to our main campus entrance, but just to be sure you find us easily, follow our campus signs for “Visitor Parking,” which can be located with the directions below.

From the stoplight intersection of Highway 10 and Albany Avenue:

1. Go north on Albany Avenue for one long block, then turn left (heading west) on 6th Street SE.
2. Go west on 6th for one block and make a left (heading south) into our main campus entrance.
3. Look for red “Guest Parking” signs along the entrance boulevard as well as in parking lots on either side of the boulevard. (Guest parking is available along the east lane of the campus boulevard in addition to the lots marked with a star and “N” on our campus map.)
4. The Vogel Welcome Center is on the northeast corner of the entrance to campus. It’s #8 on the campus map. Inside you’ll find restrooms, snacks and a warm Raider welcome! 

There’s no fee for Raider Days. Lunch in the cafeteria for you and your parents is on us. If you arrive on campus the night before your Raider Day, you can request to stay with a current student in one of our residence halls. Since campus housing is limited to students, your parents will need to make their own accommodations in a local hotel.

Your parents are invited to join you for a Northwestern Raider Day. They may especially be interested in hearing from our financial aid director, professors, and students. If you’re staying in one of our dorms overnight, your parents can check out our suggestions for nearby lodging.

Northwestern will help pay for your visit to campus. Visit our reimbursements webpage for information about how to qualify for this benefit as well as how to arrange for transportation from area airports. Learn more.
