The first two years we take liberal arts, so we are exposed to a wide variety of people with different goals, characteristics, and motivations. I am a senior now, double majoring in Business and Spanish. I have noticed that there are distinct characters within the majors. All of my friends in the business department are very driven and goal oriented. While all of the people I have encountered in the language department are very opened minded, love to travel, and enjoy learning about new cultures. One of the commonality I have noticed is that everyone here is really friendly.

Determined.

The students in my honors courses think too deeply and make things out of nothing and students in non-honors courses are usually not very educated but extremely nice.

My classmates are helpful in that they share notes, form study groups, and help each other with projects/papers.

All of my classmates are friendly and willing to help.

Classmates seem to not take things seriously, want to be spoonfed by professors and not put any work in themselves. Most seem satisfied 'just passing' and the motto at Northern seems to be: "C's get degrees." Most people don't seem motivated to do well and truly be successful, many are very liberal - almost 'hippie' like and there is a decent portion of students who are much older and have decided to go back to school. Most people are not enthusiastic about our university and Northern is not the place to go if you want the traditional 'college experience.'
