Northwestern Michigan College 1701 East Front Street, Traverse City, MI 49686

"I still to this day remember my history professor telling us that slavery "couldn't have been that bad because the slaves outnumbered the overseers so there had to have been some give and take"and the anthropology professor legit wanted us to go trick or treating at Napoleon Chagnon's House dressed as Yanamamo tribes people complete with chicken bones through our noses. It's been a long time since I attended so who knows if they have changed by now but at the time a lot of closeted racist garbage people work there and the dorm rooms were super cold and paired you with random roommates who were not properly vetted and ended up stealing a lot of things for me like several thousand dollars worth of property. And for this reason and many others will never ever ever get any student loan money for me ever I'll die before you get a single penny from me"

"Do NOT send your kids here. Send them straight to a University. They take advantage of disabled students in order to make their money. Good luck getting accommodations."

"Medical accommodations are horrific to obtain here. I moved on to a different school, U of M Flint where I was treated with respect and dignity. Unlike the person I felt with here. In fact, I didn’t have any problems at U of M with staff or medical issues. The Veteran rep was great, but being a vet was a negative when dealing with accommodations."

"I am only giving it 3 stars because I am sure outside my experience of problems it is a nice establishment. However, for me they make becoming an registered nurse so insufferably difficult that if it wasn't for NMC... I know for a fact I would've been not only a RN by now but doing so for a many years by this point, having a great paying job and better living because of that too along with doing what I like (medical). But nope. That is not the case. All because of NMC and it's dumb "point" sheet stuff. Utterly discouraging. As if we didn't already need nurses and medical professionals badly enough... Then we have NMC making that much more difficult than need be just to have a "chance" to get into a medical class. Absolutely egregious. That aside, I will say the rest of the place seems decent enough though. As my gal was taking a few classes there and I would go with her and keep her company and then chill in the library or be on my laptop outside of her class and so as it pertains to the actual establishment it's nice, clean, and looks fresh. The classes seem to be pretty decent too from what I had observed. Hence why I am giving it a 3. If I was to base it off my experience alone I'd give it a 1. 0 if I could. Because of how badly NMC screwed me over. As such, if I lived in a bigger and better city this wouldn't even be an issue since their colleges are superior and don't proactively hold back people from the careers they want to get into such as nursing and so on."

"WARNING--DO NOT LIVE ON CAMPUS. No A/C, No refrigerators and if your room is missing something good luck getting a replacement.. You're basically living in a sweat box for months on end. The staff is extremely up tight and obviously have never been anywhere but Traverse City and who hate their lives and have nothing else better to do than to kick people who aren't from the area out. A student was just kicked out of the dorms for a leaky Capri Sun juice pouch that was left unattended in the dorm hallway. Apparently this student will be facing carpet damage repair fees along with not receiving a reimbursement of nights that weren't spent there. Everything you do is on camera, this place is like big brother. You can only enter and exit one way in the dorms so they can watch you every time. Don't plan on driving around the campus at night unless you want to get pulled over by a rent-a-cop and get the 3rd degree on whether or not you live in the facilities no matter how many times you show a room key and ID. After all the harassment from the staff/ security and sleepless sweaty nights spent here I honestly cannot recommend these facilities to anyone looking to get a nice nights sleep, even if you are only staying for a weekend summer course, it's not worth it. Not to mention its $750 per month-- this again is no A/C, no fridge, no kitchen, its just your desk, bed and your sweat. For around $600 a month you can live in an apartment, get much better accommodations and have the comforts of sleeping at night with A/C."
