Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are challenging, but the professors have time for one on one help if a student is struggling in their class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms are fairly clean, with a custodian who regularly cleans the halls, kitchens, and bathrooms. You are sure to befriend other members of your dorm complex.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food from the cafeteria is probably better than anything you ate in the lunch line at your old high school. Or, if the cafeteria isn't your thing, the on campus food courts have a variety of other snacks and food that will be more to your liking.

Marshall, MN has a movie theater, bowling alley, arcade, and several thrift shops to browse through. On campus there is gym, weight room, movie and game rental, and a nature trail.
