Northwood's undergraduate classes are pretty easy. If attendance isn't required I usually only show up for tests and receive As and Bs. Once you reach the graduate level classes the courses become much better. Classes are aimed particularly towards your job field and assignments give real world type experience. My true annoyance like that of the reviews I have read on this site is of the student body. Northwood is extremely Greek oriented. Being a transfer student from the florida campus I was told that if I wanted a more college experience out of Northwood I would have to go to the Midland campus. I did. What I was not told was that if you were not willing to join a fraternity you were screwed. Partys and gatherings are frequent but private to the greek life. I have been told multiple times when hearing of a party that invitation is only for frat brothers. If you are looking to get invited to anything at NU do yourself a favor and buy a bunch of shirts with funny punch lines on them, pop your coller, and join the frat life. You may feel like a tool for a the rest of your life but at least you wont have spent your time at NU bored out of yer mind. I may have dramatized that a little but really its Greek life or no life at NU. Not to sound full of myself but I fit into the stereo type of the Northwood student left by some on this site, that is: upper middle class (have money to burn), have a nice car, and from what I hear occasionally good looking. It doesnt matter I still get turned down when asking about greek life functions. To reiderate, NU fun is centered around athletes and the greek life. If you are not part either,especially if you live off campus, you will be one bored college student.
