“I first heard about Northwood from my longtime teammate and friend, Henry Kress ‘26. I applied, and shortly after, Coach Mallaro reached out to my brother and me. We had been looking at a couple of different places, but when we met with faculty members and coaches from Northwood, it was pretty much a no-brainer. We never had the chance to tour because of a busy season, but looking at the pictures and the town was enough. The season had just ended, and we had to make the decision pretty quickly, but I couldn’t be happier here at Northwood.
“My favorite part about Northwood has got to be how friendly everyone is on campus and how the faculty really makes you feel at home. Last year, being away from home for the first time, it was pretty scary coming here, but after the first week, I felt very at home. Also, being in class with all my buddies is awesome. It makes the days and the classes fly by.
“One thing I would say to everyone at Northwood is to really enjoy every moment while you’re here. Last year was one of the best years of my life, and it really does fly by. Just enjoy the company of everyone, go to every dance, meet new people, and never think that you’re too cool to do something. This place offers a ton of unique experiences, and everyone should make the most of them.”
