Looking at Northland from the outside you see an Environmental Liberal Arts college. This may seem very specific and uninteresting to the prospective student from the outside looking in. However, Northland has so much more to offer, with its extracurricular activities along with its amazing science program. When I first applied at Northland I picked Environmental Geo-Science as my major, not really knowing what was in store. After just one semester I am now completely in love with my classes and professors that I will have over the next four years!

Northland College is know for being an eco-conscious college, and one of the most environmentally focused campuses in the United States. There are many environmentally friendly policies in effect like getting most of the campus' energy from on site solar panels and windmills. Classes at Northland have small professor to student ratios, so there is a real sense of community. Students and professors really get to know each other as peers.

Within the city of Ashland, Northland College is well-known for being a green, liberal oasis within a rather conservative region. Despite a political contrast, students are known as outgoing, friendly, and engenged in the surrounding communities, which includes other regional towns and Native American reservations. Beyond the northwoods, Northland is an iconic environmental school, which is the first thing that attracts prospective students' attention.

They are best know for being a leader of the Green League, a group of colleges and schools that are dedicated to being ecologically and environmentally supportive. They are known for their small class sizes, large amounts of financial aid for freshman, and a staff that is passionate about what they are teaching, more than any that I have seen in a state school.

Northland College is best known for the focus on our environment and a liberal arts education. Orientation is an outdoor off campus experience and the general/liberal arts education classes required to graduate are in blocks in order that they all relate to each other through a theme like Lae Superior or Sustainable Agriculture. The community is very open and excitable about all kinds of subjects openg many doors to students.

Northland College is best known for its commitment to the natural world. Everyone has an outdoor orientation trip and takes classes enough to earn an environmentla studies minor. There are numerous initiatives on campus to improve the "greenness" of the school and the location on a ravine next to Lake Superior helps bring the outdoor experiences and knowledge together!
