MARQUETTE, MI— Northern Michigan University has been selected one of the 12 Best U.S. Colleges and Universities to Get Outdoors and/or Pursue an Outdoor Career.
The list was posted by Outdoors.com, founded by adventurer and TV host Bear Grylls in partnership with the Nashville-based firm Savage Ventures.
The description says NMU is a short walk from Lake Superior and, “Besides having an outdoor recreation major, there are also great ways to get outdoors in the surrounding forest. For a longer weekend, you can drive about two-and-a-half hours to catch a ferry to Isle Royale National Park.”
Northern joins other outdoor-friendly schools like CU Boulder, the University of Miami, and Appalachian State University.
