Main Campus

Campus visits are an important factor in deciding which college or university to attend. A glossy brochure won't tell you if a college is right for you. Visiting campus and meeting students, faculty, and staff will help you decide if NSU's academic style and ambience are right for you.

Voted "the most beautiful college campus in Florida," Nova Southeastern University is located 15 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale. The 300-acre campus consists of more than three dozen modern buildings, five residence halls, athletic fields, and a recreational complex with swimming pool, basketball courts, and championship tennis courts.

The main campus boasts wireless technology and the 325,000 square foot Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center that provides students and the community with state-of-the-art library and research services.

Scheduling A Visit Is Easy

You can arrange a campus visit by calling Undergraduate Admissions at 800-338-4723, ext. 8000, or (954) 262-8000. You can also email admissions@nova.edu.

Undergraduate Admissions offers individual tours and admissions counselor interviews. Admissions counselors are flexible and will do their best to accommodate your schedule. However, you should try to schedule your visit during a weekday when classes are in session, and you should plan to spend at least three hours visiting campus.

Although NSU does not require an interview, we urge you to meet with an admissions counselor. An interview allows you an opportunity to ask questions and tell us about yourself.
