Parent Stories and Testimonials - NMU Blog

My son found NMU at a college fair and that was the one and only school he was interested in. Coming up for a Wildcat Weekend sealed the deal for him and for us.

Carly originally found NMU when searching for colleges that had high rankings in her chosen major. We then took her to tour NMU in February of the year she got accepted. 

My daughter loves the UP, is doing well in finishing up her coursework, is active in her work with Common Grounds, is a hospice volunteer, on the NMU rowing team, and works part-time at the school’s golf course to fill the time. She loves the UP so much that she didn’t even come home this past summer.

What sealed the deal was that Alexander had just fallen in love with NMU and the area. It was, once he realized that we would make the finances work, an easy decision for him.

NMU was on her short list of choices from the beginning. We first visited the campus for Wildcat Weekend and after that she decided she didn’t need to visit any other colleges.

My daughter fell in love with Northern on the very first visit. We were not even halfway through the thorough and amazing tour and she leaned over to me and whispered, "This is it, I don't need to see U of M, this is where I'm going."

I was never worried about her attending. I knew she was in a safe place.
