Review of Southwest Minnesota State University

from Marshall, MN

Describe your college in three sentences.

Been a great experience thus far and I am excited to continue my college education here. Have referred SMSU to other people I know because it is so great.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come on a college visit, get to know your way around here a little bit.

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

Some of the professors are very strict about their teaching styles and do not take input from students when they question their ways of teaching. However, all the professors are nice once you have a couple classes with them.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

TALK TO YOUR ROOMMATE BEFORE MOVE IN DAY COMES!!! I cannot stress that enough, because if you talk to them only a few times before college, they could be a completely different person once you move in with them.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food is great! Just enough options- not too few and not too many. Love that the pasta bar is back!

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

Go to res. life and borrow some games, or game systems. Have movie nights, go to sporting events, go to a movie have dinner with friends. Movies that are played in the cinema in lower CC

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

The price for college, and the experience I have received so far, It is DEFINITELY worth the money!

Great for any type of student! Not only one type, because this university fills the needs of many, many different types of students.

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