People who are outdoorsy, love the winter, and perfer a smaller community would love Northern Michigan University.

The typical NMU student is casual, polite, neutral, fairly stoic, and generally quite accepting of others. A noticeable portion of the students are artistic and/or liberal, and there are also quite a few education majors, followed by pockets of English majors, band geeks, business types, punk rockers, casual athletes, winter sports types and plenty of hardcore Yoopers (Yoopers = from U.P. of Michigan) but really there are people from every group, lifestyle, attitude and background.

Everyone is excepted at this school. No one is looked down on because of their race, sexuality, or religion. We execpt everyone, and have alot of fun together!

Anyone who can put up with snow in the winter.

People who enjoy the outdoors would benefit a lot from the activities available at NMU... Still, even people who aren't crazy about the outdoors can still do well at this school and enjoy it because of the number of student organizations, major selection, and the wide variety of students on campus.
