It's basically hit or miss at Superior. We have a lot of talented teachers, but we also have a lot of new teachers who are still learning their own style. So far, in my experience, I'd say we have great professors in the Music, Business, Computer Science, Math, and English departments.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I won't lie, a lot of students go home, go hunting, or go out partying on the weekends. However, there are students who don't. Either way, there are all sorts of students here and lots of student organizations. Having Lake Superior and Duluth so close doesn't hurt!
We also have GREAT study abroad programs for being a small school. I recently studied in Scotland for 100 days and the cost for the program was way cheaper than what my friends at bigger schools have to pay for similar programs. Plus, I got to live in a castle and meet amazing professors (both Scottish and American)! Check it out.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school is super cheap considering that everything is under construction or brand new! The new buildings are really amazing. The dorms are pretty nice compared to other UW schools. We'll have a new dorm in a couple years! If you're considering UMD, just know that UW Superior has much better food than UMD and it's smaller, so it's easy to get help when you need it. Also, you can take classes at UMD or St Scholastica while staying enrolled at UWS!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It's pretty easy to get in here. And everything is pretty well explained during the orientations. My advice would be to get involved in things and meet a lot of people. The school gets small fast! ;)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone and everyone goes here. I was surprised how many non-traditional students go here when I first came. Now, though, I love them! They bring a new perspective into classes and I've had some great conversations with them that I wouldn't have had with a 'typical' college student.
