Review of North Dakota State University-Main Campus
from Brooklyn Park, MN
Describe your college in three sentences.
North Dakota State University is an excellent university with so much to offer. Not only is the campus beautifully landscaped and incredibly inviting, the professors and the educational experience a student receives here is worth every penny. Not the most well known college, but it is a very inviting university that any student can call home and receive a beyond excellent education from as well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
One tip for prospective students is to take a tour of NDSU with an open mind, and to explore your options with majors and find what works best for you. There is excellent staff on campus that can help you with essentially any problem that can come your way. A second tip is to make sure you branch out and join some clubs or programs here at NDSU, there is tons and tons to chose from!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
North Dakota State University offers plenty of options for a major to pursue, and although I am only closely familiar with the rigor of my own major, Nursing, I feel confident in saying that each major challenges students to their full potential and makes sure they turn into successful adults with successful careers.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The high-rises are a great option. Pavek, Seim, Sevrionson, or Thompson are all nice options to live during your first, second, or third/fourth years if you chose to do so. The other older dormitories are also a great choice because they are located next to frequently visited buildings which makes it easy for students. The LLC apartments are very fancy and absolutely beautiful.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining centers at NDSU offer students with plenty of variety and the menus for each dining center are posted online each day so you can figure out which meal best suits you for the day. Very convenient, not too costly, and the food is definitely good!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Attend sporting events! (especially Bison football games), join clubs/programs, rollerblade or bike around campus, visit the Wellness Center to either work-out or rock climb or even take part in one of the fitness classes such as Zumba!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
NDSU is not the costliest of colleges, but you really do get your bang for your buck. It is in a semi-rural area, the professors are very knowledgeable, and the people are just so friendly and welcoming. A great investment for any student.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Tons and tons and tons of clubs/activities. An activity fair is hosted each year, about twice a year just so you can get a real in-depth look at each club and see what you're most interested in.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
