Testimonial by April Duvalle NMU Parent from Reedsburg, WI.
How many students do you have attending Northern? What year are they/when did they graduate? What is/was their field of study?
1 student, senior (my husband Brian graduated from NMU 2001).
Describe your student's experience in finding, selecting, and attending Northern. What was your involvement in this process?
We have visited NMU and Marquette, many times since she was born. It was a natural fit for her.
Was it a difficult or easy decision for your student to attend NMU? What sealed the deal?
Easy. It has always felt like home. She wanted a school that nobody from her high school was going to as well. It is also familiar and comforting.
What were your main concerns about your student attending Northern? How were those concerns addressed?
Being 6 hours away and our first college kid, it was very hard for me. She got involved in hall government and found some of her very best friends. When she found her crew, it was easier. I knew she wasn’t alone and that is priceless. She has/had great mentors in her RA/CA’s and fabulous RD’s (Shout out to Simon, Susan and Fish!). The fabulous leaders in her campus job helped shape her as well.
