Minnesota State University of Moorhead is a great school for students who are from a small to medium sized town. Almost all of the class sizes are 20 or under; which gives the professors time to interact with every student. MSU-Moorhead has many tutoring options which make the transition from high school to college much easier.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The only tip I have to perspective students is enroll early on. Make sure you take some fun classes, along with your core classes. It will help keep you interested, so you don't burn out right away.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academic rigor at MSU-Moorhead is a very good pace, at least for me as a freshman in college. The professors are very helpful, and they all have office hours you can visit them and get help. It is a fast enough pace to keep me interested but not fast enough that I can't keep up; I still have more free time than I thought I would.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life has been a very good experience for me. I wanted to switch rooms, and the school got me a different room assignment in less than 3 minutes! The school has great RA's and they are very helpful with transitioning into the college life. You have certain quiet hours, study rooms, a lounge, and a mini kitchen. It is like you are living in a tight knit apartment! The bathrooms are cleaned everyday, and I have never had to wait for a shower. Overall the dorm life is a great experience at MSU-Moorhead.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food and dining variety is very good. I like how MSU-Moorhead has little shops and restaurants you can buy food at. It's very convenient for on-the-go students! The reason I only gave food and dining three stars is because of Kise, the main dining facility. I only gave it three stars because they don't always cook the food right... In example the vegetables are usually undercooked, and the rice is always overcooked. Kise has a lot of differnet food options, but they need to work on their cooking times.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I was disappointed that the homecoming events, which are usually very fun, call cost quite a bit of money. The dance was $10, and for a college student that is a days worth of food. But MSU-Moorhead has a lot of clubs and Intermural sport teams that you can join. Their Wellness Center is always super clean, not too packed, and has fun exercise classes you can take for free. The Wellness Center also has its very own rock climbing wall!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Personally I think that MSU-Moorhead is a very well priced school. It averages about $15,000 a year, including everything but books and supplies. But $15,000 for tuition, a meal plan, housing, and student fees? For a State University? That's a steal! MSU-Moorhead is a great school, with great credentials.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
In the middle of campus we have a metal dragon statue. During homecoming week it breathes fire all day, everyday!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are from a small to medium sized city, the atmosphere is very welcoming.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The public safety is always driving and walking around campus, I always feel very safe.
