Great school that is small, but located in the heart of the city. There are a variety of options here and there is always something to do or explore. It is a safe campus with a great community located around it with a great educational opportunity.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I recommend getting on top of your application and essay early to catch some early scholarships offered by the college. I also recommend asking as many questions as you can regarding majors or minors to see if it is truly your best fit.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I am in the honors program so the academic rigor is a happy medium because it is tough at time, but other times there are some fairly easy things to complete regarding homework and assessments. Overall the academic rigor of each course depends on the professor, but overall it is very decent.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It depends on what dormitory a student is placed in, but a dorm is a dorm and no matter what each first year will have to go through it. The dorm atmosphere at Augsburg is decent because you are connected with students constantly. It is a great way to make new friends and explore the college experience.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are a variety of options in the Commons. There are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and soy free options to choose from. There is a salad bar, pizza, and soups served all day. Also our other on campus dining Nabo has a great variety of choices to choose from and is great for campus food. Einsteins Bros. is also a great coffee shop on campus to hang out.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a lot to do around here on campus. With the University of Minnesota across the street there is always a variety of events going on. You are also 5 minutes from downtown Minneapolis which is convenient if you would like to shop or hang out downtown. There are also a variety of events Augsburg hosts throughout the year which livens up campus. You will never be bored.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
My experience so far has been pretty great and I believe for the price you pay you get a lot of opportunities that some colleges do not offer. You have the connections to the fortune 500 companies located in the twin cities and you also have the connections from the University of Minnesota let alone with our ACTC program with other private schools in the twin cities. There are also many programs that Augsburg offers to help its students through their academic experience.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a building that was the first dormitory on campus and now it is built to be professors offices, but there are walls where there shouldn't be and dead ends at random parts of the building.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Augsburg is great for students who are looking for a city atmosphere, smaller class sizes, and an atmosphere where you see familiar faces all the time. It is great for students who want to get to know their professors one on one.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I wish Augsburg offered more clubs and activities. This part is growing fast at Augsburg, but we new ideas and students to come up with ideas to help develop more clubs and activities on campus. Overall currently there is a great deal of clubs and activities for students to participate in.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is no greek life here.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus is super safe as our Department of Public Safety is constantly patrolling campus. We have no issues here at Augsburg and most students I have talked to feel they are very safe with our campus patrol and the University of Minnesota patrol on the opposite side of the street.
