    College isn't cheap, everyone who's heading there or has been there knows that. At Northern though it's completely worth it. You have school where some classes are challenging and some classes are fun and then you have classes that are both which is a bonus. The teachers will do whatever they can to help you out if you're struggling with a class or just have a question. The environment is great. The campus has that laid back feeling with just enough seriousness to keep you on your academic track. Dorm life was so different for me, but I loved it. All of my friends were just a walk away and up to do something when a test wasn't looming near. There is always something to do one campus, or if you feel the need to just get off campus for a bit you could walk over to the beach or take a quick drive to Marquette Mountain. read full review

    Anyone who LOVES the outdoors.. and snow. Snow is a huge part of the school year up at NMU. I can't say anything to generalize the residence halls/dorms, because each one is different! I consider myself to be an open-minded and adventurous person, and NMU has DEFINITELY brought out the best in my character. NMU has several different choices for activities, including a fully-loaded Physical Education center, complete with a ROCK WALL. There are a lot of resources available for students that need help with school, family, friends, and just adjusting to college in general. Anyone who loves the outdoors, hanging out with new people, delicious varieties of foods, and life in general will most likely thrive at NMU. read full review
