A great school!

It's a small campus but it's great at what it does. Lots of resources are available to students. The student body is small enough where if you meet someone you will see them around. If you love the UP and being outside it's an awesome place. There is a ton of snow for a lot of the year and really fun local activities like broomball to keep active!

I love Michigan Tech! The classes are hard but the people are so fun and welcoming. Get involved in clubs, intramurals, and Greek Life if you can! Utilize the free skiing, golfing, Tech Trails, hiking, and exploring the Keweenaw. It's seriously the best place in the world and you get a great education.

The school offers a lot of mental health support. I love the community here. Instead of being a competitive school, there is a focus on being able to work on a team.
Overall 4.5
If you can get over the location and the winter, you will love it at Tech. Super safe and lots of social opportunities and career opportunities. Definitely a more difficult school compared to others, but everyone here is super nice.

It's in the middle of no where, and that's why I love it.

Michigan Tech: it's pretty good. Only thing to watch out for is the food situation has been and still is lacking in terms of quality (especially for those with food restrictions) and you better be prepared to drive 4 hours from the bridge if you're coming from the lower peninsula. It's also kind of expensive if you aren't awarded any grants.
