Categories Rating Comments Tips for prospective students Don't go in ready to slack. The upside to Northwood is that the class sizes are small so it's not a huge change from high school and that was nice. Another plus is that you first term you start classes that specific to YOUR major, no doing classes that are useless, you get right into it. All of the teachers at the school are ready to help the students and some even give out cell phone numbers so that you can reach them away from the office. They aren't there to see you you fail they truly want to see us all succeed. Also, most the teachers are not only teachers but business professionals who have worked in the field that they are teaching in.
Great for these types of students Any student who wants to go into business, this is the perfect school!

Bang for the buck you will be getting your money worth
Tips for prospective students Make sure that you either take classes at a Community college for your reading and math or have at least a 20 on your ACT because they would try to put you in classes that dont count as credit and you can always test out of classes to. also make sure you have plenty of scholorships
Great for these types of students For any Business Major like Management, finance, banking, accounting, they have good programs for sports and fashion to

Categories Rating Comments Tips for prospective students Be ready to work hard and be dedicated to your classes. Freshmen year can be a terrific year, but if you do not work hard and stay on top off your project then things will come crumbling down. A plus side, if you do slip up and get off your job, there is a terrific support system to help you back up.

Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot I applied myself and took everything seriously, so I got a lot out of it.
Did enjoy being here I really enjoyed every aspect of it. Most instructors were very serious about helping you to attain the knowledge and were truly concerned with your progress. The admin staff are very helpful and friendly. I appreciate every one of them.
Bang for the buck I wish I could afford their Grad School program or that they had more scholarships available.
Tips for prospective students Do the right thing and take your learning seriously. I saw how some students were simply trying to do the least and get out. Remember, knowledge is power, so get the most power you can. Be open minded about what you will be asked to do, they are only asking you so that they can help in your success.
Great for these types of students Open minded, willing to learn, and want the best for their life.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Northwood Universtiy and their staff are intent on helping their students succeed. Tutoring, working in groups, and class discussions are always welcome and encouraged in any classroom. There is a club for every major that helps students network as well as meet future prospective employers.
Tips for prospective students Get involved in any club or group that may interest you. Networking is very important at Northwood, so be prepared to meet a ton of new people and have fun at every event. There is a lot of volunteer and charity groups that get organized throughout the year and are always fun to do. Also, don't be shy. Getting into arguments in classrooms and working with groups to study for tests is part of the experience and something that Northwood encourages to improve your knowledge.
Academic Rigor The faculty do a really good job of keeping students engaged and involved in the classroom, which allows the students to grasp the material very well. The professors are chosen as experts in the fields that they are teaching, which makes them take their job very seriously. They teach their students to be what they would look for if they were going to hire us in the future. All of the professors are also on one-year contracts, and the students rate their experience in the classroom after each semester. If the students don't feel they learned enough from that teacher, Northwood will find a new one for that class material.
Dorm Life Though I do not live in the dorms, a lot of my friends do. There are always activities to do and quiet places to study. The campus is a smaller size than most colleges, which makes it easier to get around from building to building in the winter months. There is a lot of freedom when living in the dorms, and they are a good size to decorate and put all of your things that you might need. If there are roommate problems, Northwood is very good at fixing them and moving people around if there is a need for it.
Food and Dining Northwood has three cafeterias on campus. The main cafeteria is connected to both the boys and the girls dorms and contains things such as a pasta bar, a salad bar, burgers, sandwiches, soups, and many other options. There is also a mid-cafe about halfway between the dorms and the gym/fitness building that has a grill as well as pre-prepared salads, fruit and vegetable cups, drinks, smoothies, coffee, and quick food bars and fruit to take as you are running to class. The last place is the Wold Den next to the gym and makes Starbucks drinks as well as having energy bars, fruits, smoothies, and other such things.
What to do for fun On the Midland Michigan campus, there are always things to do from sporting events, to volunteering, to fundraisers, mixers, greek week, mud volleyball, etc. The campus in Midland is close to the mall as well as many restaurants. There is also an organic market right across the street for those who have other dietary needs than the cafeteria might supply. The mall has stores like Target, JC Penny, Barnes and Noble with a Starbucks in it. There is a Meijer and a Walmart, as well as Pier 1, Michaels, Marshalls, Kohls, Best Buy, and a Bed Bath & Beyond. Downtown Midland is also very close, which always has something going on, especially in the spring and the Fall, including a Farmers Market by the River. The skate park is within 5 minutes, and the Midland nature trail runs through the campus.
Bang for the buck While the tuition is higher than most schools, especially public schools, Northwood really does a fantastic job of making sure that you get the most out of your education, and everyone is willing to help along the way to make sure that every student succeeds.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Midland campus of Northwood is home to the annual auto show in the fall, which is completely student run and is the largest outdoor auto show in the United States. There is also an annual mud volleyball tournament that raises money for a charity of the Circle K's choosing. Northwood students and clubs hold an annual Christmas party for kids of Salvation Army families, as well as compete in the wheelchair basketball tournament in the Spring. The unusual tradition of Northwood would be the Rock that gets spray painted by every group on campus for every event. It changes at least once a week and is in the middle of the campus.
Great for these types of students Hardworking dedicated students that want to get a quality education in the business world as well as have a lot of fun and grow a wide network.
Clubs and Activities Northwood has so many different clubs and activities to get involved in, it is hard to list them all. Be sure to check their website for a complete list!
Campus Safety Northwood has its own security force that is stationed in the middle of the dorms and is available 24/7 to help find lost items, or even walk you to your car in the middle of the night.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences For an adult learning setting, this collage is great. The instructors are good at what they do. I am in my 7th and 8th classed and all of the instructors so far have tried to make the learning experience as enjoyable as possible.
Tips for prospective students If you are looking to go to collage for business management Northwood U. is the place to go. If possible take the in class classes rather than the online classes. You get more out of the class when you can interact face to face.
Dorm Life NA
Food and Dining NA
Bang for the buck I have been managing for years and still am suprized at what I learn in each and every class. This collage is well worth the tuition.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I have not been to the actual campus as of yet.
Great for these types of students Fresh out of high school and working adults. For the fresh out of high school student, you can go full time at the campus and for the first time starting this summer you can go to the adult ed in the evening to cut down on how many years you have to attend.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Like a private island in the middle of Midland, it's almost like a big high school. But you can honestly do anything with a few students and a teacher to back you up.
Tips for prospective students Don't look at just one college, look at a few. Make sure that you are happy with where you are and with your friends.
Academic Rigor Northwood isn't too hard if you do what you have to, and as soon as it is assigned.
Dorm Life You get sick all at the same time and news travels like wild fire but it's a really convenient location.
Food and Dining It's okay, once you get used to it. Just know you will have to visit the gym.
What to do for fun Good question, there are sporting events some times and lots of clubs to join. Some weekends are dull tho.
Bang for the buck It's expense here and it keeps going up but you can get your money's worth.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Mid-caf is a small food stop its pretty nice.
Great for these types of students Business, smart, driven, slightly conservative.
Clubs and Activities Business clubs, Fraternities, Sororities, sports, other clubs
Greek Life Wouldn't know.
Campus Safety Joke! we have mall cops that don't do much but we like them that way.

Dorm Life it's fun with the people you meet.
Food and Dining college food is never that great, but northwood does have its good days.

Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot The classes are amazing and the teachers know what they are talking about. When I had a question they would answer it and the class sizes are small so the teachers get to know you.
Did enjoy being here I was only here for a semester. I had issues with my roommates (the first one ditched me and the second one wouldn't talk to me) and it was very difficult to make friends.
Bang for the buck The faculty are extremely nice and willing to work with you. The buildings are all kept clean and maintained. It was definitely nice that the dorms, cafeteria, and computer lab were all in the same building and you didn't have to go out in the snow.
Tips for prospective students Buy/rent you books online because their prices are ridiculous.
Great for these types of students This school is great for students who are willing to hunker down and study. The students here are very private even with their friends and it is hard to get to know anyone.
