Northern Michigan University is one of best decisions I have made in my entire life. It has tons of majors and organizations to offer and the people here are extremely friendly.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you do not like snow, do not come to Northern.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It's a joke at Northern that the 'n' stands for knowledge. However, I have had amazing professors and a great time learning. It's not pull you hair out difficult, but there is a challenge.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Fun!!! NMU really strives for the dorms to have a family feeling to them. There is also on-campus apartments.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food on campus is good but it gets old fast. However, we do have a Starbucks, a grilled cheese restaurant, and a Mexican restaurant on-campus. Other than this, all off-campus dining is delicious
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There has never been a day where I have been bored. I have gone swimming, cliff jumping, hiking, biking, to the movie theater, sledding, to the ice caves, and seen the Northern Lights.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Northern Michigan University is the second cheapest 4-year university in the state of Michigan. Each student is supplied with a laptop, which is included in tuition. You'll also see a lot of students from nearby states because it is still cheaper with out of state tuition than to attend a university in state.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Brule Run is AMAZING! After the first snowfall sticks for 24 hours, a certain male dorm strips and runs across campus for all the spectators to see.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who love the outdoors, exploring, and are down to earth would love NMU.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
NMU boasts over 300 different organizations across campus. There is everything for a dog walking program, to a fishing club.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The greek life here is minimal. There are a few, however, they do not live in houses together.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Marquette, is one of the nicest cities I have ever lived in. The campus itself is patrolled by real officers, not security guards, and there are emergency blue oles everywhere around campus.
