    Tips for prospective students

    Many of my friends went off to four year universities right away. I was chastised for staying close to home at the easy college. I can say with confidence that this college is by no means easy. I always received good grades in high school and I have had to work extremely hard to do the same at NMC. So, my advice is don't assume that this school is a pushover. It's just like any other school with a well rounded variance of professors and classes. If anything, I like it better than the bigger schools because the class sizes are small, making positive relationships with your professors much easier to attain.
    Great for these types of students

    NMC is great for just about everyone. Being a two-year school, it's a good stepping stone for anyone who wants to get a good start in their college career without breaking the bank. If you're looking to major in anything sports related, this might not be the place for you. The extent of the NMC PE classes are limited to soccer and basketball class and they don't offer anything like sports science or sports medicine. However, if you're looking to go into nursing, culinary or maritime professions, NMC is the place to be. Their programs in these fields are accredited and outstanding.

    NMC is great for any student, it gives students great opportunities to excel for a fraction of the price that it would cost at a large university. Class environment is personable and each student will get one on one time with the teacher which improves their chances of class room success.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of everything NMC has to offer and perform in your classes to the best of your ability, the teachers will notice and it will give them an incentive to help you when you are struggling. And of course have fun!
    Academic Rigor

    Each course and professor will be different and some will be harder and take more of your time than others. The professors do a good job at letting you know how the course will be at the beginning of the semester.
    Dorm Life

    I did not live in the dorm, but i heard that they were a fun living environment and the one dorm I was able to go in was spacious and my friend did like it a lot.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the cafeteria was good although pricey at times.
    Bang for the buck

    NMC is a great college for the money and one will get what they need to succeed from going here.

    Northwestern Michigan College is a great, small-town school. The teachers really know how to get involved with the students and get to know them as an individual. If you're looking for a personal feel with your education, I would recommend Northwestern Michigan College!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you're not really into group discussions, I wouldn't recommend going to this college. You have a lot of those here.
    Academic Rigor

    You will usually get a pretty awesome teachers here. Math teachers, not so much.
    Dorm Life

    Really cramped dorms and really small bathrooms.
    Food and Dining

    A lot of processed food, but the food is all prepared by students in the culinary program here. It's pricey but very delicious.
    What to do for fun

    Inter-mural sports.

    I am a high school student that is duel enrolled at NMC. I love all the help we received at NMC when my Mom and I went for orientation. Its great to be able to do my class through the Internet while in high school and next fall as a high school senior I plan on taking at least 2 classes at NMC.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you have time with your high school schedule to take a few on line classes, then don't wait, get your future started. Once I get my basic classes done I can transfer to a university if I need and it saves money going to a community college first.
    Academic Rigor

    Right now it's easy to complete my class via the internet during my high school seminar class.
    Bang for the buck

    I will save money by attending a community college my first 2 years and its close to home.
    Campus Safety

    NMC has a very high saftey rating which means a lot to my parents.
