Northwood U is a mid-size school in a beautiful area of the country, all of my professors are very smart and truly care about you and want to see you succeed.

Northwood is a fantastic school! If you're looking to study business you are in the right place. They want you to be successful and will help you to get there. Not to mention you gain tons of real world experience during your time spent at Northwood.

I wouldn't trade Northwood for any other business program. It's a smaller campus that gives you a lot more interaction with students and instructors. Amazing opportunities to build a resume. Great evening activities every week. Love it!

Overall 4.7
If you are willing to put the effort you can prosper at this school. Its well known in all conservative and libertarian circles and offers great internships in town, in the state and all the way to Washington.
Overall 4.6
Northwood is for a niche group, but I love it! The dorms are better than expected. Every time I go to the dining hall there's plenty of options and always something I want to eat. I am not in a sport or greek life. I am never bored because there are many opportunities and clubs I am involved in. I like most teachers. Campus is dead on the weekend.

Northwood University is the right place to be if you seek a school with many conservative professors and students.

Bad reviews
Overall 1.2
The best thing I can say is the food is okay. Very clique so good luck. Some staff is cool some have unethical practices. Social life is non existent. For a school with good esports why do I lag on my gaming computer. The location sucks as the best thing close is wayside. If your looking for happiness keep looking this place is depressing.
Overall 1.3
The best thing about this school is there security. The second best thing doesn't exist. The school is pathetic with nothing to do. The clubs are pretty bad. The food is edible at best. The atmosphere sucks. I don't think this school will last long term as it is awful.

Graduated in March 2020. Was not able to walk. Still unemployed after graduation after nearly a year. Had the college career coach help freshen up my resume. Two later still no job. Reached out again to two career coach's again still no support. Would highly recommend not going to this college if you expect to get a job after graduating.
