I would agree with what another reviewer wrote. It's all about how much you make and how much 'class' you have. I hear students talking down on someone because their 'modeling' career hadn't taken off.. Utter garbage. It's not just students. Teachers and anyone else who resides (free housing) on campus.

NMH was an interesting experience. They had jobs there and that gave students a sense of responsibility and discipline. Having people there from around the world allowed students to meet a lot of people from different backgrounds. I was there when it was 2 campuses, so it was interesting to have the

This gave students a chance to be themselves, rather than having to live up to this traditional standard. I remember, the first place I ever heard about global warming. It opened up my mind to a lot of new ideas. There was some clickiness going on, but most of that was on the Hermon campus. Those who were bothered always could escape to the Northfield campus.

NMH is awesome. The consolidation on to one campus has made a great school even better. The quality of the faculty and their commitment far exceeds my experience in the highly selective college I attend. I wish the new arts center was finished before I left. I don't think there is a school that can

I love the atmosphere and the student-faculty relationship. I just graduated as a 4-year senior and I've been through the big change of moving to one campus. It's been hard but I know that NMH will thrive in 5 or 10 years. I recommend your children to go because it's not a place where 'grade' is everything.

I went to NMH. They do give out a lot of financial aid, but the overall attitude of the families and students that attend NMH is very negative toward those who are not of their financial status. I definitely agree that attending this school will educates your child about the harsh realities of life.
