Review of Northern Michigan University

from Oakdale, MN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

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!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

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.

Do you have any 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.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

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