S2 was interested in environmental studies so we “looked” at it last year. It’s similar to Green Mountain I would say, and would definitely be a contender for a student looking for that type of outdoorsy, environmentally aware college in a beautiful area with a nice small town for amusement plus liberal arts and small classes. I think the facilities and faculty are “better” than Green Mountain (YMMV). It does draw kids from outside the midwest which is a bonus I think. It runs about $30,000 a year if I remember correctly. It’s on the “convenient” side of Lake Superior for Chicago/Milwaukee areas. Some buildings are “old” from the original college and they have added several new buildings to the campus. It’s close to Lake Superior…maybe less than a mile. I would say it’s worth a look see if that is the environment a student is interested in. I would pick Northland over Green Mountain.
