Marquette is located in the upper peninsula of Michigan and is one of the largest cities in the U.P. It is also home to Northern Michigan University and was listed as one of the top 10 places to retire in the United States. The town has about 22,000 people living there and every summer, tourists flock to the city to enjoy great views of Lake Superior or maybe go for a small hike up Sugarloaf. Aside from hundreds of fun outdoor activities, Marquette also offers collegiate hockey games, the UP200 Sled Dog races in February and a variety of great local restaurants. Now, if I don't already have you packing your bags, here are some more reasons that will just have you wishing you were in Marquette.

1. The fall colors are something you have to experience in person.

2. Sunset Point on Presque Isle is a great place to go and witness some of the best sunsets.

Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
