Testimonial by Jamelle Godlewski, NMU Parent from LaGrange, IN
How many students do you have attending Northern? What year are they/when did they graduate? What is/was their field of study?
My daughter is a sophomore majoring in Environmental Studies and Sustainability
Describe your student's experience in finding, selecting, and attending Northern. What was your involvement in this process?
She absolutely loves NMU! She knew no one and loved her suite mates so much from last year they stayed together. She has made great friends from her classes, joined some groups, participates in yoga and other rec, has study groups for her classes, has utilized career services for resume and internships, has had great professors, couldn’t ask for more!
Was it a difficult or easy decision for your student to attend NMU? What sealed the deal?
Easy! It felt like home on our campus visits! She loves the outdoors so it was a perfect match!
What were your main concerns about your student attending Northern? How were those concerns addressed?
Her mental health. She got into counseling right away with a local therapist (with help from health center). She got actively involved right away and some of the gals she met at orientation turned out to be her best friends! She went to early orientation and I think that helped a lot. Also has had great RA’s.
