The most important and valuable thing to me that I've found here is the close knit community. Everyone here cares about everyone on campus, in Decorah, and in the world. It's really allowed me to meet some of the nicest people I've ever met!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Study hard and take advantage of as many opportunities as you can! There are so many things offered here and it's easy to get involved!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The professors expect a lot of you throughout campus, but you form such a close bond with them and all your classmates that it is easy to want to work hard and make them proud!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There is no other place I'd want to live during college! I am going to be an RA in the coming years and I'm excited to work with others to make a positive residence life experience like I've had this first year of school!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
"The Caf" as it's known here, has good food and many different ethnic options along with comforting home foods and healthy foods for a good balance! Along with the Caf, Marty's is a good treat every once in awhile, Nordic Brew has the best chai tea, Sunnyside Cafe is the perfect treat for a good job done, Oneota is quick and convenient, the C-Store allows for late night snacking, and Grab 'n Go is an excellent option for college students on the go!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Not only are there great options on campus every day and night, but Decorah is a beautiful area and there's a lot to do despite it being a "smaller" town! If you like nature, it's the place for you, and if not, there are some cute little shops downtown to check out too! All of the local restaurants are great too!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While it looks to be on the pricier side, there are many scholarships and financial aid opportunities, and it is such a wonderful place to be that you wouldn't want to spend a penny elsewhere-- the experience is so amazing!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are many animals- deer and squirrels to name a few- who live on campus and always provide entertainment when walking across campus! Other traditions include occasional Whippy Walks to an awesome ice cream place downtown, and many other annual activities!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you really desire building great relationships with all people you meet, this is the place to do so! The faculty, staff, students, everyone cares about the people on campus and it makes it a wonderful community to live in.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are tons of activities and groups to join on campus! Many sports teams, musical ensembles, and other groups that are welcoming to all people!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a few fraternities and sororities to join on campus and they are a close and loving bunch to be with!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus security is quick to communicate with students and officials to protect all on campus or anything that could affect campus. They are always seen around campus making sure everything is as it should be!
