One of the many things that I liked about Northwood was I able to see and meet my friends. One of the worst parts of Northwood was there was a lot of unsolved problems and dilemmas.

My overall experience has been good. They adversité a lot of opportunités for student and care about student success. I've only ever had good teachers which made my learning process easier. As someone who is interested in arts like dance I'm very satisfied of the dance program there.

Amazing faculty that just want the students to advance. They focus on the students and always encourage to strive for more. Senior counselors provide good resources which is extremely helpful. Teachers are very nice and actually teach instead of just presenting material. Very good school
