Campus Life

Be Involved.
If there’s one thing really smart people are good at, it’s finding new and creative ways to have fun. You should expect no less from the school that recently set three world records all on one day (you can check Guinness), including one for staging the world’s largest snowball fight.

There’s no one way to describe what life is like at Michigan Tech, because it’s different for everyone. That’s what’s so cool about it. You make the experience your own, based on what you’re into, and you do it alongside friends who share those same interests.

All we do is make sure the doors are open. In fact…

More than 1,000 students participate in music and fine arts at Michigan Tech.

There are 22 Greek organizations from which to choose.

Our Great Events series brings some of the world’s most acclaimed talent to campus each year.

Here are just a few things that characterize student life at Michigan Tech…

Outdoor Fun
You’ll be just minutes from Mont Ripley, our very own ski and snowboarding hill; Portage Lake Golf Course, our own 18-hole course; and a virtually endless range of forests, rivers, trails, and state parks. And our Outdoor Adventure Program will ensure that you have the gear to do it up right.

Clubs and Organizations
More than 180 of them, covering interests ranging from academics, to cultural awareness, to politics, to religion, to community service, to athletics, to media, and pretty much everything in between. Check out a list of current student clubs and organizations.

Events and Activities
There isn’t a buzz that can match our campus when something big is about to happen. And it happens a lot. Along with a huge array of weekly activities like concerts, movie screenings, broomball tournaments, and the like, you’ll experience big annual events like Winter Carnival, Family Weekend, K-Day, Parade of Nations, Homecoming, and Spring Fling.

Athletics
It’s great watching really smart kids kick major butt on the field, court, course, track, or whatever the playing surface may be. Michigan Tech’s Huskies have a long and proud tradition of success. And if you like to play as well, we have an amazing selection of intramural programs and club sport teams that are just waiting for you.
