Northwood University is in an extremely small conservative, homogenous
town. Very little embracing of diversity, and not just race
either. Unless you like to get stupid drunk every weekend,
or are into fashion, or cars if you are a
guy, you will not have fun here. You will feel
like an outsider. The cafe's food was pretty good, but
education is what most people come to a school for.
And the education here sucks! It is not worth the
money and financial aid will give you the run around,
especailly if you're in dire need of financial assistance. The
only people who get scholarships, are children of car dealership
owners and atheletes. Professors are pretty great, I
will not lie. They have office hours and are very
helpful. However I did have a math teacher who I
tried to contact once I transfered to another school, but
she just totally ignored me! Do not take “the weird
philosophy teacher everyone talks about” as everyone will literally walk
out of his classes earlier, fall asleep, or just be
damn bored out of your mind.
Hard to
get around without a car, unless u take the “dial
a ride".
Lot's of students just like to
get drunk and have no substance, nor appreciation of a
college education.
Basically NU is full of snoody upper middle
class (not rich,like most would like to think of themselves)
students who have money to go to any college but
are simply (not were, still are) to dumb to get
into Princeton or even State. And you have to be
a loser for you to not get into a state
school! All the girls here wear way toooo much makeup
and look orange year around. And most of the soroity
chicks pop vicodin, I know this firsthand because I have
seen it with my OWN eyes.
All in all, NU sucks. Don't go here
