Any highschool student that has an interest in the environment should very carefully consider attending Northland College. The college has many hands on classes which makes learning fun and easy to accomplish. There are also many opportunities in the classroom because of the small campus. With having small class sizes, the one on one time with teachers affects your grades for the better.

Northland is laid back, but if you're an ambitious student you will get what you put into it. The teaching staff is excellent, and class sizes are small. There is a strong community of basically every type you could imagine yourself in, from nerds to gays to jocks to you-name-it. While the college emphasizes some more liberal values, conservatives have been known to fit in if they're laid back and, most importantly, intelligent.
