    The only problem about the food is that the Den closes early. The Market Place is open late, but for the students living up campus, it's not easy to make the journey through snow.

    There is the big Market Place filled with option, including vegetarian options. The Wild Cat Den, which is a bit smaller but very tasty. Finally, other small restaurants which offer different styles of food!

    You will never starve that is for sure. I would not call it a home-cooked meal, but you will only get those at a private college that is small. The food is not the worse, its better than high school.

    Northern actually has some pretty interesting places to go to eat. For instance, my favorite spot to go for lunch is Melted, a specialty grilled cheese place. There are a couple dining halls here and there (I wouldn't recommend the Wildcat Den, though), and there's even a Mexican joint in the basement of the library!

    There is a huge variety of food and you can always get a salad when you want one. It can sometimes get old, but if you get tired of the MP you can always go to the Den up campus to get something new. The Den has the BEST burgers and caesar salads.

    There food has improved it is mainly student cooks making your food. They hardly having a morning breakfast selection actually they don't have much of a selection at all. NMU does have Starbucks, smoothie king, melted and a sushi dinner all that you can use your dinning dollars at.

    The Greek life isn't too big around here, but much like the clubs, you will find a sorority or fraternity that will fit your personality.

    Greek life is a HUGE way to get involved. If you want a group of close nit friends, the family feel then Greek is definitely the way to go. You meet so many new people and have the ability to volunteer in your community.

    Greek life is kind of small. We have four sororities and 2 fraternities. Then we also some fine arts fraternities and academic fraternities. Don't let that steer you away though its a great time and you make tons of cool people. I'm in a sorority here and its the best decision i have made since coming up here. We are involved on campus and we volunteer too.
