Give yourself time to adjust to the environment and ways of college.
Be positive!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I gave the rigor a three because the homework load is pretty easy, they really build you up so you don't give blind sided by it. Also, the in class participation is very important and helpful.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great. You make a lot of friends and, at least here in Heide, we have a lot of activities to participate in. Everyone is super friendly and fun!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
They always have well balanced meals and a lot of options. Of course, cafeteria food can get old, but here it is always tasty!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hope you are outdoorsy! A lot of the activities here are outdoors and a lot of fun. Also, a good way to make friends is have a movie and homework night!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Compared to a lot of other schools the tuition here is cheap. However, that doesn't mean it lacks in educational advances or opportunities. Your education is really what you make it, and if you can save money while doing just that it is even better!

Which types of students will excel at your college?
It is a great place for someone who really loves a small, safe environment but is also really outdoorsy and adventurous. If nature and small town feel is what you love then BHSU is certainly for you!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is literally every type of club you can imagine here from Rodeo to Students In Free Enterprise! Also, hiking is big. Going to sporting events is a good activity too!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There really isn't one. Our Greek life is more our athletics and clubs that have houses off campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Black HIlls State is a pretty small campus filled with really nice people. Safety was a huge thing for me and I am very pleased. If you ever feel uncomfortable you can either call campus security and they will be glad to walk you to your hall or any of your friends can join you in a walk as well!
