Northwood University Michigan

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.
