Northland College Reviews
Rating 3.83 out of 5 278 reviews
I love Northland! It is very much a niche school (haha), not everyone fits in here. The classes are great and the professors really know what they're talking about. The smallness of the campus and town is really nice, it creates a really close-knit community.
Northland College is located in Ashland, WI. It is surrounded by beautiful landscapes and great lakes, and watching sunrises on the lake was a wonderful experience. Attending college here had much excitement, with campus events, sports games, and meeting new friends. The teachers that I had were so great to have, and they made my experience in school much better because I was able to learn much more than I anticipated. If the teachers I had were great, I am sure the countless others were also amazing teachers, especially because of the stories I heard other students tell. However, in Wisconsin, it was super cold, and it was hard to get cars out of the snow, or drive because of the ice.
I really love the teachers, some of my favorite people were within. The staff mixed with the small number of students means you've got a very personal connection with the teachers, not just being a small drop in an ocean of students but an actual real individual. The classes all benefit from this.
Unfortunately, I enrolled at an awful time. They were (and still are somewhat) having troubles with having enough teachers for specific disciplines. For example, not having a teacher for intro to psych and getting the baseball coach instead.
Additionally, the costs are pretty extreme. I understand that they are attempting an eco-friendly campus, but when the full academic scholarship isn't even enough to come close to covering just tuition, it is disheartening. I wonder if what the college saves on their emissions gets squandered by lessening the ability for students to afford options that are better for the environment.
