The unique thing about my school is the location. Northern Michigan University is in the upper peninsula of Michigan and not many people know about it. The school is in Marquette, Michigan which is a small city and is a very outdoorsy and natural environment.

The unique placement of Northern Michigan University (the Upper Peninsula) unites the community here and draws everyone close together. Students and people who live in the community take pride in the beautiful scenery and atmosphere of the Upper Pensisula. I love how there's so much to do outside, even in the winter.

Northern is an extremely liberal school and has a dry campus. The dorms are recently renovated and very well taken care of. I was impressed by the amount of professors that were successful professionals in their areas of study. The campus is smaller than others I considered. It feels more personal.

It is very supportive when it comes to helping the environment.

Northern is located in a beautiful spot. We are surrounded by lakes and woods, perfect for warm summer days at the beach, hiking, cliff jumping, fishing, camping. In the winter we have a ski hill a few miles away where skiing and snowboarding are very popular - I beleive we have the best 'park' at our ski hill in the midwest. The environment surrounding Northern makes it unique and most people attend the school for that reason, the lakes, woods, etc. rather than the quality of the school itsself.

The surrounding environment is beautiful. It is located right off the shore of Lake Superior.
Elisabeth
The area is gorgeous, with plenty of woods. One can see Lake Superior from campus, and it's about a 15-20 minute walk from campus. There's a strong emphasis on being environmentally conscious here; many efforts are being made to make it a paper-free campus.

Northern Michigan University is located in a small community with a lot of heart. Classes are small but diverse and teachers are more than happy to help. The campus is beautiful no matter what season it is, whether it is covered in leaves or a thick blanket of snow.

Biggest in the Upper Peninsula but still has that friendly, smaller feel.
