I loved my four years at Northwood. The two things that turn people away from Northwood are the small size and the location.

The small school environment is what makes Northwood so great. The campus is close so you constantly see familiar faces. You almost never find yourself in a situation where you meet one person at a party and you never see them again. The classes are smaller too so you're not sitting in a lecture hall with 200 other kids trying to learn.

As for the location: Midland isn't the most exciting place in the world but there is always so much to do on campus that you will never find yourself with nothing to do. There are lots of nice places to eat and downtown Midland is very nice. The winters are cold but that should be expected.

The business focus makes Northwood amazing. Although you do take some general courses like Calc, English & Sciences, most of your classes are dedicated to your major. Taking four years of science classes help engineering majors not business majors. I use the things I learned at Northwood in my professional life on a daily basis. Everything you learn here is useful- you don't take pointless classes that you are never going to use in your life.

My advice for prospective students: Take advantage of every opportunity you get here because kids at other schools only dream of experiencing some of these things, meet new people, work hard & have fun! If you're looking for a big state party school, this is probably not the place for you.

I love Northwood!! Everyone is so friendly and the profesors are willing to do anything to ensure your success. I'm a fashion marketing/management major and I love every minute of it! I'm interning with Prada this summer thanks to my connections from NU and I've spent two weeks in London and Paris on the study abroad mini learning about fashion promotions in Europe...best school ever if you take advantage of all it has to offer.

I am writing this review for all those perspective students thinking of enrolling in Northwood's Online Degree Program. Working full-time I find it very difficult to attend traditional classes on a regular basis. The online program is excellent, in my subjective opinion, and gives each student an affordable and fullfilling experience.

The only objection I have of the program is that some of the professors seem to be too busy to effectively teach online courses. This is the exception, not the rule. For example, some of my emails (regarding course material), would not be answered for a week or more. This can be an issue, especially when taking online courses.

Overall, Northwood is a great school and is dedicated to the enrichment and devevlopment of each student. The quality of the education is worth so much more than the tuition fees. If you are still thinking of attending, please take my review into consideration - honestly though, you won't be disappointed if you go with Northwood.
