Ever wonder what admissions  REALLY does with your application? We're myth-busting with the University of Michigan and Alma College to give you a real look at what goes on once you hit "submit". 

"I'm not a math person..." a very common phrase uttered to every math professor. But what does arguably the highest paying job in the nation, Elon Musk and NMU have in common? Take the dive into the world of Dr. J.D. Phillips and call admissions to switch your program. 

Time to bust some of the biggest housing myths about living on campus, with the former Director of Housing and Residence Life, Jeff Korpi. Hear directly from him on all of your burning housing questions. 

Happy Valentine's Day! Our spoof on the popular show Love is Blind - where two current NMU students get to know each other based on their voices only and at the end of 25 minutes have to decide if they like each other. Will it be a match, or a miss? 

Gone are the days of JC Penney suits, bad PowerPoints, and trifold brochures. Your admissions counselor game is about to be elevated, at least at NMU, and now includes an office jam-packed with Nirvana posters, Star Wars, and a pretty cool dude that owns a record store as his side gig. Dip your toe into the alternate universe that is Jon Teichman in the new year. 

2020 was wild. So we're making cookies and talking about it. Along with a look back over some of the biggest peaks and pitfalls of the year at NMU, a look forward into what we're planning (HA, what's a plan?) for 2021 and giving you a more personal look into our friendship...not just your admissions counselors. 

What happens when you choose one college, fully move-in, do a semester of classes and then have the realization this isn't the right fit? Lilly Capodilupo is on the show to share her unique transfer pathway and her experiences going from a BIG 10 university, to a community college and ultimately ending at NMU. 

Bill Digneit, the Director of the Department of Theatre and Dance, stops by to talk about the creative opportunities students have had while coping with the pandemic shift. Not to mention the jam-packed roster of events that they have on tap and haven't slowed down on in the new virtual landscape 

Are we laughing or crying? Probably both. Let's blast open the past on our own college regrets...er, em...memories and hopefully help out the next generation as they plan for their own. 

Your first semester at college. It would be fun they said. How about adding a global pandemic, a snafu in your housing plans AND just a sprinkle of chaos with move-in, COVID testing and we're having classes in person - no, wait, we're online for two weeks - JUST KIDDING back to in-person classes. Sounds like being a freshmen in 2020. Olivia and Caleb join-in on the inaugural episode to give you their v honest opinions.
