Michigan Technological University

Helpful, but Definitely Don't Want to Give You Too Much.

There are a few scholarship opportunities on Michigan Tech that can really help you out, but the financial aid office is very strict on how you are rewarded. I was given extra scholarships due to my EFC. When I was awarded a small off campus scholarship for the second semester of that year, they took away that much from my funding from the school. Therefore... getting outside scholarships was not helpful at all.

Probably the Safest Campus

Michigan Tech is one of the safest campuses you can go to. It is a small community where people respect others. The campus safety building is right on campus, and the campus police are always around if you need them. There are phones placed all around campus too in case of any emergency. The campus is very safe, and the worst that you have to worry about is petty theft, but even that is usually due to people leaving their things unlocked or lying around out in the open.

Diverse and Accepting Community

The school holds diversity very important. There is the Hamar House on campus and it is there for acceptance, no matter who you are. While the diversity of the school is probably less than those of the "bigger" schools, I think we have a great community of people from diverse backgrounds and it is great that the school and the people there are so accepting of everyone.
