    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are so helpful. They will come in early or stay late in their office if you can't make their hours. When you ask a question they do their best to answer it. I even had teachers who would look it up and the answer it the next class. Some teachers even remember all their students names and faces, even in the 300+ lectures. The class sizes are perfect. They're just small enough that you still can get that one on one help unlike at huge colleges. The teachers do a great job keeping students attentions, like a chemistry teacher doing live demos in lecture class.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here. I don't know of any other college where you can go to class and in that same day go hiking, or biking, or swimming, or cliff jumping, or sledding, or snowboarding/skiing. There all sorts of clubs from government and art to sports. You can even go see a movie on campus for free and they are even recent ones. If you're looking for a college where you spend every hour of every day either in class or studying then Northern isn't for you. If you want to balance your day with your studies and some fun then get on Northern's website and apply. Do it now! What are you waiting for?
    Bang for the buck

    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.
    Tips for prospective students

    Let's see some tips for you. FYI Northern is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It snows a bit and can pretty cold. Now don't freak out, it's not like arctic weather or anything, it's not the bad no matter what stories you hear. You should bring a very warm, heavy winter coat though and boots made to take the snow. A snowboard and skis for those who like their winter sports. Marquette Mountain is about a mile or two from campus. Now we do have nice days up here too, so bring your swim wear because Lake Superior is about a mile or two as well from campus. If your home is a long ways away from home don't worry, Northern will feel like your second home in no time. Just do something here. Join an interesting club, try-out for your favorite sport, and make friends. Good luck.
    Great for these types of students

    Want an adventure? Go hiking on one of two mountains near Marquette. Need an adrenalin rush every once in a while? Go jump off Black Rocks or take a trip to Marquette Mountain for some boarding/skiing. Want to get a serious education after high school? The teachers are so into their field of study they're actually excited to teacher their subject to us. Want to just make some new friends and hang out? Go to the Market Place and grab something to eat or watch a movie on campus. This is probably the one school where you will find everything you want to do and a few other things you would like to try.

    Am learning a lot

    Over the course of the year, I began to realize that I was more interested in some subjects - and methods of learning - than in others. But don't let that stop you from learning something in every single class! The teachers at NMU are open to communication and will do what they can to help you, if you make yourself heard.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus environment of NMU is fantastic! The population is not as overwhelming as state schools, but not as confining as private universities. The surrounding city of Marquette has so much to offer, and there is always something good to be said about the people of the Upper Peninsula. There is always something to do on a slow weekend, or even weekday - and teachers and students coexist quite happily.
    Bang for the buck

    Although I am an out-of-state student, I found that NMU was more than willing to put forth financial aid for my education. I earned a good chunk of tuition payments from scholarships. However, as with most universities, there is the money issue. Classes for me were on the expensive side sometimes, mostly for lab fees and special exceptions on materials for certain instructors.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to pack an open mind with your ski boots and notebooks! Moving up to NMU was a life-changing experience for me and I learned a lot about myself and college life in general. Be aware that you are not only going to school to have fun and make connections, but essentially to LEARN and PREPARE yourself for life AFTER college. Don't let yourself get too distracted or you might fall behind. Other than that.. Have fun and take FULL advantage of the campus life and facilities. I know I did :)
    Great for these types of students

    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.

    My classes last year were great. The professors are all really nice and willing to help. They all have posted office hours that they never miss. Classes move quickly in most cases, but professors adapt each one to fit the students in it.

    Marquette is gorgeous. It's an easy walk to Superior from campus. Curving sidewalks and a lot of trees keep the campus feeling natural. Students are friendly and open-minded. Plus, the food is awesome!
    Bang for the buck

    Out of state tuition is a little expensive and the books cost quite a bit, but there are also a lot of scholarships and financial aide available.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared for a ton of snow. Being near lake Superior keeps Marquette from getting as cold as other parts of the upper midwest, but it also means it's much wetter year round.

    NMU has all kinds of students. Have an open mind and look into the almost 300 different student clubs and organizations on campus.

    Can you say 2nd cheapest public university in Michigan? Location alone is worth the price, then add in awesome people, staff and dinning...bang for the buck is an understatement!
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit before you get your heart set on a school. I had originally wanted to attend MSU or CMU; but after one day at Northern my mind was completely changed. You have the opportunity to become a Big fish in a small sea up here, unlike MSU where you are the small fish in the big sea.

    After visiting, I took note of the size of the classes. I know that a student becomes more successful in smaller classes because of the exclusivity to each student. The majority of the classes were fairly small with the exception of the lecture halls. Like many other students, I excel with that extra attention. They also offer free tutoring if you have any issues with a class!
    Will enjoy being here

    Northern Michigan University is much more special than many know. This university houses the Olympic Education Center. I am an athlete with dreams of being an Olympic medalist and after visiting the facility, coaches, and athletes at NMU, I realize that the possibilities of what some people may call unrealistic dreams are actually quite possible. The coaches are very accomplished technicians and the athletes have intact moral principles that will make the fun not only fun, but safe. The athletes were also VERY welcoming along with the rest of the NMU staff.
    The location is definitely different from the city like environment I am used to in Miami. Much more quiet. Very tranquil.
    The nature in Marquette is absolutely beautiful. I had the opportunity to visit Lake Superior, which is not even a mile from the university and is definitely one of the most beautiful things i have EVER seen!
    So will I enjoy it? Of course!
    Bang for the buck

    Going in as an OEC athlete from Miami, I still get Resident tuition so it is the cheapest tuition I'll have to pay at any other college out of Florida. Especially since I'm planning on pursuing the Pre-Med program!!
    Tips for prospective students

    Do what I did. Visit the campus, check out your interests. Schedule an appointment with the advisor in charge of the program your interested in. They'll be glad to see you. I was able to meet with not only the Pre-Med advisor but the Pre-Vet advisor as well. They were both kind and thoroughly informative on their respective programs. Very helpful in your decision making process!

    This college is located in the a great little town by the water and there is much to do there. Plus the environment on the campus seems to be very welcoming and active. It seems to be a fun and very friendly place to be.

    Teachers are very helpful and want there students to pass, not fail. There is ALWAYS something going on on campus, never a dull moment. The most friendly student body I have ever seen, Kind of like high school, It's small and very easy to get to know people.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are having trouble with a class, go see your teacher they are more then willing to help you, and by going to there office ours, you stand out in there mind and can lead to a passing grade. Also there is a All Campus Tutoring office located next to Starbucks in the LRC, this is a great advantage to you.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor is great. The class sizes are very small for the most part and very helpful. Teachers are there for help almost all the time. Teachers schedules are posted outside there doors so you can almost always catch them at there office.
    Dorm Life

    People always have there doors open and are friendly. Even your RA can become your best friend! I have left with some of the greatest friends fro the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Food is one of the best around. NMU has won multiple awards for there Dining and Food for students. Props to the head Chef on campus Chef Nathan.
    What to do for fun

    There is always something do, whether there is a guest speaker on campus like The President to a hypnotist, to the on campus movie cinema theater in Jamrich 102 every Sunday. All of this is provided to you through student activity fee and brought to you by Prime time Productions a student organization (which there are over 100 student organizations to join on campus, from Greek life to major clubs).
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Every first snowfall, the boys from the all boys hall in Gant, do the naked mile, you best be early to get a good view! When winter rolls around every Friday and Saturday night campus is dead, this is because EVERYONE is at the Hockey games. This is a D1 campus for Hockey! The first weekend here, you'll probably be asked to go to black rocks, dead river, or little presque, why? Cliff jumping. Its an item for every student to get off there Northern bucket list before they eave to at try it once.
    Campus Safety

    We have one of the best campus safety around. You'll see blue lights all over campus and all you have to do is push the button and in under one minute a public safety car will arrive for you. Also every building on campus has what is known as the green door. This is so you can enter a building if there is danger on campus or a bad storm and you cant get to your car or building.

    Northern Michigan University is an amazing university that I am unbelievably happy attending. The professors are interactive, fun, and sincerely want to help you succeed. The campus is beautiful, the buildings are well kept, and you can do any activity you wish to do within minutes of campus.

    Everyone I met so far has been genuinely friendly and fun. Just walking across campus you will receive smiles from everyone you pass. The dorm buildings are amazingly well-kept and I have never had an issue with anything related to my room or the building. Each room has plenty of space and the suite style bathrooms are wonderful. Most buildings encourage (but do not require) an open door policy so that everyone can interact with one another and not be stuck-up in a room the entire semester.

    Both the Wildcat Den and Marketplace have wonderful food that differs daily and is always fresh and delicious. The Wildcat Den is open less hours than the Marketplace but it generally has higher quality food, not to discount the Marketplace at all.

    ANYTHING that you want to do! Northern Michigan University is surrounded by nature and some things I have tried first semester are hiking, cliff-jumping, slack lining, surfing, snowboarding, and rock climbing. These activities barely even make up a fraction of what you can do here for fun. If you are not into nature activities or physical activity, there is plenty of things to do around the town of Marquette.

    Am learning a lot

    At first I went into Northern Michigan University with my high school mindset. In high school things were easy and required little work on my part to succeed so I was confused why people complained about college being so difficult. My views quickly changed within the first two weeks. Even though my classes I chose were good classes for a freshman, not to hard, they still proved to be more difficult than any high school class i had taken before. This opened up a whole new window for me however. In high school I learned nothing because I viewed it as stuff I already knew based around what I found as common knowledge. With the difficulty level of the classes I took in college I found that I had to focus harder than in high school which resulted in me learning more since nothing here was based around what I found as common knowledge.
    Am enjoying being here

    Northern is a really great place for meeting new friends and most of the professors are really helpful. If you are having difficulty with a class all you have to do is ask or email a teacher for clarification or for them to look over something for you and they will be more than willing to help you succeed.

    As well as having one of the lowest public college tuition rates and it having a wide variety of students to become friends with there is even more. It is surrounded by nature and is really popular during hunting season. Camping is also popular all year long and they even have a winter camping class you can take to fulfill part of your physical education credits. If that isn't enough for outdoor activities they also have two mountains that are very popular for hiking and rock climbing nearby campus.They also have a long list of clubs for you to join that are all run by students. The only professional influence on these clubs is some of them are supervised by a teacher to get the club started but for the most part they are run by individuals who like the same thing you do. If you are worried about having to get a loan to pay for college, they also offer jobs on campus that pay fairly well. Also for students who start here without a lot of money they do provide free laptops to be
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not go into college thinking you know everything or you will be proven wrong very fast. Despite the amount of work you get from your classes, as long as you stay on top of things, you will still have time for taking breaks and doing things you enjoy. Be prepared for snow and lots of it. The campus has tunnels and catwalks to get you from building to building but you still have to get from your resident hall to another building first as most resident halls do not have access to the tunnels.

    This college is great for medical students and the local hospital is located right beside it. It is also ideal for students who love the outdoors and would like to get some cheap classes before transferring to another college. It also is ideal for art students to start at because most art colleges can be fairly expensive and their laptop they receive will instead be a Mac laptop.

    Northern is one of the cheapest universities in Michigan which is why i chose this school. You get a great education and learn a lot for the price you pay.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some tips for prospective students would be to make friends. Things are always more fun when you have friends to do things with. And not just friends in your dorm building. Having friends all over campus can be really rewarding, especially if you want to go to something that people in your dorm hall don't want to go to. Another tip would be to go to your classes. You're paying for them after all and they really aren't as bad as some people say they are.
    Great for these types of students

    Northern Michigan University is great for any type of student. There are athletics like football, hockey, volleyball and many more. There are plenty of academic opportunities both for credit and for non credit. We have both Fraternities and Sororities for people wanting to join one of those. Northern is just a place for anyone and everyone.
