Review of Northern State University

from Watertown, SD

Describe your college in three sentences.

I would give Northern a five out of five! I love it there so much, and it's nice because everything is at close range to you. I love how easy it is to get answers to your questions as well for things like financial aid.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would come and take a tour, because it has such a great atmosphere. Don't be afraid to ask questions either.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The level of work just depends on the classes you are taking, or if you are in honors or not. For the most part though it is somewhat of a challenge.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I honestly love dorm life. I have made so many new friends, and it's nice just being able to hang out.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We have a wide range of food in the cafeteria. You might get pretty sick of it after a while, but that's cafeteria food for you. It really isn't that bad. Just get the 100 meals and the 400 flex for the meal plan.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is a ton of different things that you can do on campus, but off campus they have a mall, theater, and fun stores downtown. Always something to do.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Northern is relatively inexpensive compared to a lot of other schools. It's a little smaller, but that means more student/professor one-on-one time.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Gypsy days is our homecoming week for celebrations.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is most known for its business and teaching programs, however there is a lot more to offer than that.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a ton of clubs and activities to join.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus safety is pretty good, and we do have a campus cop.
