Michigan Tech Lode Reviews

Awesome community, friendly professors, and more than enough snow!

Initial impressions are good. Calm and relaxed atmosphere with all facilities for studying. Also, there are a bunch of on-campus events to explore one's interests apart from academics. Friendly community.

I am alumni from 2014, and I would like to say the school views undergrads as ATMs.

Very quiet place to study and resesrch. But winter is tough if a person does not like snow and cold weather.

A proud alumni, school where you turn your dreams to reality.

Turns out this place is a university. Thought was a divebar. Very misleading name. Three thumbs down from me.

Wonderful campus with views of the water and the bluff.

I work here, so I've gotta give it five stars, folks. This is a school known for its excellent PhD in Rhetoric, Theory and Culture. I've also heard that it's a place where some people learn about engineering and other various and sundry subjects.

I am a graduate student at Michigan Tech. Hence entitled to write a trustable review.
Pros: value for money, expenses are very less, Strong Indian community, good courses in automotive especially in controls, excellent scenic beauty, supportive staff.

Cons: less diverse student community, lack of good research oriented courses, cold weather who find it hard.

Great school, very safe and enjoyable environment, the library is a great place to study, not alot of girls about but they are all smart and hardworking. Would recommend

Gift shop has a lot of inventory and moved you through well for being move in weekend.

University: Great school. Amazing management and very friendly people. If you have it in you then getting a professor to fund you is not very hard. Lots of on-campus part time job opportunities.
Location: Though the scenic beauty is amazing and being a college town really has its perks when it comes to safety, life gets really really boring if you are not a fan of the snow or the cold.
Conclusion: If you like to study, have a peaceful environment and go to a club like once or twice per semester then this is the place!

A good University for mechanical engineering for design, manufacturing, IC engines, combustion, thermal, hybrid electric vehicle,etc. I specifically loved the location of the University, it's a beautiful city. For person who like to hang out more, it doesn't have much of things as u will expect from an American city. It also doesn't have any Indian restaurant. So overall it's a nice place to study and live in.

Good school bad food. Like actually the worst food ever jesus. Eating here is so painful.

The most amazing school that I could have ever asked for!
A community that always stands up for peace, and then turns around to kick ass in hockey + football!
My classmates are incredibly passionate about their school work. As a junior, most classmates I've spoken to have already been employed in their field of study through an internship or co-op.
We have world class academia intertwined with support staff that brings top employers to campus for interviews. They sell beautiful, professional clothing at cost to ensure everyone is dressed for perfection when they meet with their dream employer.
At 20 years old, you can begin putting your engineering skills to use, saving your company hundreds of thousands of dollars - and you can make a lot of $$ too.
I constantly marvel at my colleagues here at MTU. They are so brilliant, so determined, so responsible, and so happy about where they are going. I have never met a student or faculty member who was here by default. We are here because it is beautiful and we can enjoy the fantastic academic programs.

Definitely the best thing that ever happened to me in my life is coming to Michigan Tech.

Why is this so call Great College not paying Professors a decent wage? ? ? I think speaking English fluently and clearly understandable isn't to much to ask in a professor for what we are paying to send our kids to college. Son #1 was on the Deans list at Tech his only gripe was some of the Professors were very hard to understand and at times couldn't understand questions asked in English he said he just taught himself, spent many hours in study lab to make up for the deficit in Professors. The valedictorian of his class left after the first year saying "to many professors were hard to understand" Now son #2 is going to Tech and he said his calculus Professor has only been in this country a year and is very hard to understand, that she copies lessons out of the book onto the board word for word then gives tests that are not anything close to what was taught in class.

I really believe that Michigan Tech is an exceptional school. I am a high school counselor and I visited there as part of one of their counselor visit programs. They have a lot of excellent programs and a student well leave there well prepared for a career. One of the drawbacks is that it s very far north in the state of Michigan which a lot of students don t necessarily want to go that far. But if they do want to go that far it s worth the trip. There s also a lot of great aspects to the campus like you can ski for free there s a lot of outdoorsy types of things to do and it s right on the river.

one of best uprising Research University in USA and best in north Michigan

Class of 2019. Faculty and most staff are good, really care about students. Top level staff and admin seem not to care.

A first rate school that believes in innovation and challenging the status quo in research. I was a graduate student over there a long while back. I went there with very little idea about what graduate school entailed, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun they made learning, for me. The focus of the school is practise and it will give you the ability to think in terms of possibilities rather than present realities. I did very well at Michigan Tech because I had some great professors, who were dedicated to giving students the bedrock they need for envisioning innovation and novelty. The snow can be cruel, if you are an international student, like I was, from a tropical country, but if you take it in your stride then as they say : Snow builds character, and there is always Mont Ripley near by where you can engage in skiing. The school has quite a successful ice hockey team that usually wins. The ice hockey stadium is well maintained and the ambience is great when the home fans get behind the team. The placements are great and it has one of the biggest job fairs in the mid west. As a university where the forte and focus is science this is one of the best places to be at if you are a budding engineer who wants to learn something useful rather than what is deemed necessary. The town is friendly, and although remote with a weather that may be inhospitable for some, the people are helpful and ultimately people make places. I had a good time , especially at the downtoner and dog house pubs, when I went out with friends or alone, and I highly recommend MTU for your future growth. Four years here and you will grow from an enthusiast to an engineer capable of building something substantial. Can't speak for some of the other department , but my mechanical engineering department was insanely good, notwithstanding some professors who are slackers, but you get some lazy academics who are just focused on research rather than teaching, at every institution. All in all this is a top class university for science and engineering, and I don't care what rankings say, just in terms of the quality of engineers produced it is right up there. Rankings are hogwash and it maybe top thirty for mechanical and right up there for couple of the other disciplines, but in terms of efficacy and return on investment it is up there with the best engineering schools. So, get your snow gear ready, and your minds ready for some white , white houghton winters if you are headed to MTU, and best of luck with your studies.

Its being a month at this University and pretty much happy to be here!!
The Professors are good and graduate studies is giving me sleepless nights already.
But that's what engineer's love I guess...lol
Definitely Thumbs up for Michigan Tech for being affordable and carrying a great reputation in Michigan.

Amazing surrounding environment, great learning experience with rigerous course work, a degree from here is worth a lot. Buildings are mostly modern and up to date, learning centers everywhere to help you, great study areas and quite the view

Great little campus. Hope this 4 years pays off for my kiddo.

I had 4 different teachers for my calc 2 class. We called it rotate-a-prof. Thanks for the 5 credit ripoff. Most freshmen instructors were uninspiring, to put it mildly. Hopefully there's better security to protect women.

I got an admission at MTU and I must say I'm pretty impressed by what I've heard so far. I hope my years at MTU would be indeed fruitful.

As someone who attended this school and transferred out (more than a quarter of students do) I have a critical viewpoint. Professors were good, class sizes were acceptably small for the freshmen and sophomore classes I was taking although they were easy and boring. The school's admissions office is struggling to get enough students so they basically accept anyone and its obvious in the student body. I would not recommend this school for above average (honors/AP) high school student.

As someone who attended this school and now recruits civil engineers, Michigan Tech does an awesome job of getting students ready for the workforce.

If you like the outdoors, then this is the place to go if you can handle it.

This University is located in a very small town (literally out of no where) in the Upper Peninsula (Hello yoopers) but indeed has the best community (friendliest people) I have ever met in USA

Lots of great memories, friends, research, and mentors. 5/5, would choose them for undergraduate again.

Beautiful area, small town feel. Lots to do if you feel adventurous.
