Travis's Review

Review of Augustana University

from Box Elder, SD

Describe your college in three sentences.

It has a great theatre program. It has a great sense of community. I am certain this is the place for me.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It feels a bit overwhelming at first, but once you are used to the transition from high school to college, it is a great place to be because you will always feel welcomed by students and teachers alike.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

One unusual thing is that they have an interim semester strictly in the month of January. Here every student is allowed one course to take over one month, cramming an entire semester's worth of one class into a month. However, this class is free to take and recommended to do so as no other college will offer a free course. If you opt out of doing interim, or J-term, you can instead stay home for a month and just have a month vacation from school.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I find it to be the best school for anyone interested in the fine arts, but there are a lot of science majors here as well.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

If it weren't for the several clubs i'm involved in, my life here would be very dull I believe.
