Will I have a telephone to use in my room?

Phones are located in each student’s dorm room. When contacting you, your family and friends should call (715) 324-6900. Please give parents and friends your room extension number; they will need it to reach you. Calls should not be received after 10:30 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday or after 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. After these times, all dorm room phones are turned off, and incoming calls are transferred to the Welcome Center. Security workers answer incoming emergency calls.

What do I do if I get sick?

The Northland Health Center functions as an on-campus medical facility. During the weekly office hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., registered nurses are available to provide preventative health care as well as the treatment of illness and injury. The nurse’s station furnishes nonprescription medicine and first-aid supplies. Should a student need the attention of a medical doctor, Health Center personnel schedule the appointment and aid the student in securing transportation to and from the doctor’s office or hospital. Doctors’ appointments are the financial responsibility of each student. In addition, a nurse remains on call through the evenings and weekends to handle any after-hour emergencies.

For serious illness or accident, Health Center personnel arrange treatment with the Dickinson County Memorial Hospital in Iron Mountain, Michigan (about a half hour north of campus).

Northland Health Center staff can be reached by calling (715) 324-6900, ext. 5300.

How much will it cost to do my laundry?

Laundry costs 50 cents per dryer load and $1 per wash load. Coin-operated laundry facilities are located in the men’s and women’s dormitories. Machines for converting currency into change are available in each location. Clothes that need to be dry-cleaned may be taken to the Business Office. Payment is made at the time of drop-off.

May I bring a computer?

Because many classes require typed assignments, a computer is necessary. Northland provides two computer labs for student use during the semester. There is no additional charge for using the labs so you don't have to have your own computer, but it sure is nice. Each student receives an e-mail account, filtered Internet access, and 15 MB of disk storage in the computer labs. Filtered wireless internet access is now available in all buildings including the dorms. The students love it and you will too.

What should I pack?
