Review of North Dakota State University-Main Campus
from New Salem, ND
Describe your college in three sentences.
North Dakota State University is a place with diversity, modernity, and close-knit community. There is never a dull moment and activities can be found for everyone. NDSU is your home away from home!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Tour campus!! I guarantee you will fall in love! The staff do a great job of keeping up the grounds and the actual campus has a lot of neat history. Also, attend a Bison game; it's a great way to get a feel for the school pride we have!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are not that challenging if you put the time and effort in. Professors are really good about setting forth their expectations and being available if you need any help. You definitely feel like you are getting your money's worth for your education.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are always events going on; you can never get bored with the different contests, study groups, chill-out sessions, and more! The RA's are helpful and everyone is super friendly! Even the janitors in the morning look to make your day better with a smile and a friendly chat!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Between the three dining centers (each equipped with a grill, sandwich/salad bar, and breakfast area) you never go hungry. The hot lunches are good with a lot of variety, and if you don't like what they are serving, you can make whatever you like! The dining centers also have a modern vibe to them; you don't feel like you are in a cafeteria.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Fargo-Moorhead is an amazing community! There is always an event going on between the two cities and campus is located right by the Fargodome. Downtown Fargo has a ton of little shops and businesses. The area is full of stores, restaurants, and recreational activities. On campus, Residence life puts on events every weekend and shows free movies in the Union! Several of the sororities and fraternities always have events taking place too!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Bison game days. One of the greatest traditions you can partake in! They don't exaggerate the Bison pride we have! And if you need to brighten your day, open your window or hang around outside. A student carries a boombox around campus and blasts all kinds of music. Boombox guy is kind of a legend around here!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All kinds! I've met so many different people who all feel at home here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
You would not believe all the clubs that are available! For any interest you have, they have something, and if they don't, it's as easy as gathering five people together and creating one! From checkers to gaming to just meeting and eating donuts, they have something for everyone!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus police make themselves known and are really friendly, and the campus is also well-lit.
