REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingMetropolitan state is a diverse school with supportive community. Been in my first I hard supportive instructors and peers who make my transition from high school to college in smooth way.
Adan from minneapolis, MN
Very easily to get around and understand processes for applying, registering for classes, etc. One of the advisors, however, is very rude and not the greatest help.
RayJ from MN
I think that I would learn a lot from this school because I've been doing major research and this school has great priorities, and provide excellent education to students.
