Michigan Technological University is a great school for learning. No matter your class, teacher or learning style you can always find someone that will help you learn what you need to learn. Almost all professors will help you outside of class to learn the material if you need help, and even if you are with a professor that does not go out of their way to help you, you can find other professors willing to help. There are also tons of learning centers where fellow students can tutor you for free. The learning centers are a huge help in studies and also a great way to meet people. Before I got to tech I never felt as challenged as I wanted to be, when I got to Tech I was able to take classes at a rate that I wanted to and love the classes. Classes are challenging but also fun and offer great opportunities to learn. To learn at Tech you have apply yourself, it is a lot of work and does not come extremely easy but with work it is very easy to learn all that you need to.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Michigan Technological University can be a very fun and adventurous school but it is not for everyone. For some people it is the perfect school and for others it is not the school for them. It is up to you to have fun, meet people, and find things to do. It is far away from big cities which some people don't like but there is tons to do outside and the school does a great job creating things for students to do. There are a lot of great people at the school but there are also a lot of different types of people, if you are open to meet new people that aren't quite like you, than you can make a lot of great friendships. I have had a great time at Tech but it is up to the individual to make it fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The cost for college is high no matter where you go, but compared to a lot of other good schools Tech offers a great price for such a great education. I have been so happy with my education and experience for the price I pay especially hearing how unhappy some of my friends are at their much more expensive schools. But it is a lot of money and if you decide that Tech is right for you, you should make sure you take advantage of the opportunities that you pay for. If you are going to pay so much to attend Tech you should attend classes and try hard, its only worth as much as you want to put into it, if your not going to work hard than you shouldn't pay so much for school. But if you want to get a great education and work hard for it than the money is totally worth it to go to Tech.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Tech has a lot of opportunities to learn but it takes a lot of work. Don’t skip classes, because once you start it is too easy to keep skipping classes, if your paying for it and want to learn you should attend all of your classes. Also it is really good to get into a study habit, don’t just do homework when you have it or just study when you feel like it. Have a schedule of when to study and what to work on, if you stick to it it makes it much easier to stay focused and makes school a lot more enjoyable. It is also really important to have fun, studying is important but Tech is a hard school if you don’t have fun every once in a while school becomes unenjoyable it makes it harder to do good.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that want to be challenged in their academics that truly love what they are going to school for. Tech is only for people that want to work hard, if you are willing to put the effort in there is so much to learn from the professors and students from Tech but if you don't want to put the effort in Tech most likely isn't for you. If you love the outdoors than Tech is a great school for you, there is so much to do and so much great nature around the school. There are so many great and different people that teach at and attend Tech, so if you want a chance to get to know new and different people than Tech is a great school to attend and there is a good chance that when you graduate from Tech you'll leave with a lot of great friends.
