Most Helpful Review for Michigan Technological University

Michigan Tech has a reputation of being a tough school and it's reputation is well earned. Every class I've taken has been a challenge but nothing too extreme. The university takes academic dishonestly very seriously and strives to ensure that every grade is well earned and up to snuff with what's demanded in the real world. Despite all of this, it was an easy transition from high school. Michigan Tech has dedicated learning centers for each field of study, staffed with students who know the material backwards and forwards. There's always someone to help you with something. The biggest mistake...

    This is a difficult university, but if you did well in high school and have good study habits, you will do fine here. There are many opportunities to succeed here and extra-curricular events like hockey and football. They also have a lot of clubs for you to join.

    Michigan Tech is a great school academically for, especially in the fields of Engineering. In area it is probably in the middle of all the schools i have visited. If math is your thing go to MTU.

    This school is good at helping you get the best education you can, so there are plenty of chances to take advantage of that. The main area is designed as a wind tunnel, so in the winter a lot of the snow blows out of campus so you don't have to worry about it. How cool is that? There's plenty of stuff to do outside of class and plenty of awesome people to hang out with, too.

    Michigan Tech doesn't believe in handing a degree to just anybody, they make your work for your degree. This adds a lot of value to a job application because employers know this.

    Michigan Tech is one of the most pleasant, safest, most opportune colleges in the nation. Are you a Harry Potter lover or want to join some type of a club or intramural sport? Michigan Tech doesn't only have one of the best academic reputations in the world -- we also have so many opportunities for fun (including our awesome Quidditch team!)
