One of the main reasons I decided to attend Michigan Tech is so I could get a great education, and that's exactly what I'm getting. The classes are filled with information and all of your professors KNOW what they're talking about. Some of what you're learning can be a bit fast paced, but each professor has office hours where they'll be more than happy to meet with you and explain one on one. A lot of my classes and labs are hands on, which is a great way of learning things easier and faster because you actually get to do it.
The bottom line is, if you decide to attend Michigan Tech, you will be getting a great education.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love the atmosphere of this school, and town. It's smaller, but I love the fact that I can walk to my classes and it doesn't entail walking two miles to different classes, they're all together on one campus. The small setting of the town is the same way, you may not think there's anything to do, but if you take the time to get out and enjoy what this area has to offer you will be amazed.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A lot of people tell me that I can be getting the same education at a school that's much cheaper than this one, but I don't think so. Sure, some of the classes you can go anywhere for. But by attending Michigan Tech I feel like I am just getting more out of it then if I were going anywhere else. I am learning so much and I'm enjoying being here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Try and do a roommate match before you start school. Once you say that you are for sure attending Michigan Tech they send you information about finding roommates. You can always go in blind but I advise you use the program they offer you. It's kind of like a personality questionnaire that you fill out with your different habits and likes and dislikes. It can help you find the perfect roommate. And a perfect roommate not only won't get on your nerves or be completely opposite of you, they'll become one of your best friends.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Michigan Tech is known for Engineering. But it's also great for all other types of majors and departments, other than engineering there are forestry, computer science, business, science... And tons of other degrees and programs. Also, if you're not too sure about the big campus types of schools in very urban settings this is also the school for you. It's small enough where you can walk to your classes in 5 minutes, but also big enough where you're always meeting new people.
