A friendly, fun environment. The School is really involved with the Community and vise verse. A great size and good pricing, I'm paying the same or less than I would have to go to some of my in-state School
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't let distance scare you. its a long way from me and I almost overlooked it. I'm so glad I didn't. Everyone is so friendly nd the people are great although you miss people back home, you meet a whole new set of great people
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics are very good and the teachers really like to help you when in need. There are great opportunities for tutoring and most classes have TAs along with them to help with study sessions if you need it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Suite style :) there are bathrooms for every two rooms. It's so nice not to have to share a bathroom with the whole floor. The halls have great atmospheres and they all do activities to help you get involved.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I'm not going to lie, the food is average. It really depends on the day if its good or not. Some of the options are great and others are ehh. Most schools are like that though but I would say its still good quality food. Also there are food places on campus that you can use campus dining dollars on like Fieras, Melted Grilled Cheese, Temaki and Tea, Smoothie King, Starbucks etc.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Its right on the lake, Swimming, Cliff jumping. There is also hiking on the ever beautiful Sugar loaf. The nature is breathtaking around here and you won't want to miss it. It is however Winter for most of the year and there is a lot of snow. This is good though because you can go skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, there are always groups building snow people and other winter related activities.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
On the first snowfall that sticks, one of the all boys houses, the Brule house goes on the brule run. This means they streak in the courtyard. it sounds weird but its a great time and hilarious to watch especially with fresh hot cocoa to keep you warm.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It is a small town so there isn't much mainstream places around but we have some. The big thing is nature so if you love nature, and the outdoors come here you wont regret it. Also our hockey is the best so hockey fans... This is your home!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We have so many clubs and what ever we don't have, its super easy to start one. We have athletics, greek life, club athletics, intramurals, academic clubs, volunteer organizations. I cant even think of all we have because there are so many options.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is kind of small. We have four sororities and 2 fraternities. Then we also some fine arts fraternities and academic fraternities. Don't let that steer you away though its a great time and you make tons of cool people. I'm in a sorority here and its the best decision i have made since coming up here. We are involved on campus and we volunteer too.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Not only is the campus super safe, so it the general community. The area is a great small town. On campus we have Public Safety watching over things and making sure everything goes smoothly. Coming here you will feel really safe and have nothing to worry about.
