Minnesota State University Moorhead is an excellent place for people to become friends in a small community setting. Moorhead's small campus of only 8,000 students is the perfect size for an incoming freshman like myself. The faculty have been fantastic, I look forward to another three years!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Plan for a new life! This isn't high school any more. You can't just expect to get all A's for just doing the homework. Find some friends to study with, or ask your teacher for help. It's okay, everyone is new at this. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Some classes are harder than others. Try taking a lengthy History course and see how much you remember. For a freshman like myself, the classes have treated me well so far. The diversity of classes combined with the challenges between them are at a good level.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Living in the dorms is nothing like I would have expected it to be. At first it's terrifying, and you don't know how to react to the small room presented to you, that you also have to share with another person. After a few days, you get to know your neighbors. I for one, am getting along great with all of the members in my hallway, and the RA's have been very kind.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I love Kise! The variety is amazing. On any given day, around dinner, you can have a hamburger, sandwich, pizza, salads, the choice for dinner, or cereal. The drinks vary from juices to Pepsi and Coke. There really is nothing more you could ask for at Kise. The only downside is the choice meet is often a slab of either beef or pork, which is starting to get old.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For all the new students, check out Dragon's After Dark, or the list of activities. There are dozens upon dozens of groups ranging from a Japanese Yosakoi club, to ASL clubs, and they are all looking for members.
