Review of Winona State University

from Minneapolis, MN

Describe your college in three sentences.

I love Winona State the people and the atmosphere is amazing! Everyone is very friendly. Also people are pretty out going which makes it even better because I'm pretty outgoing.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

College is nothing like high school at all. You get to pick and choose what classes you want to take especially ones that sound very interesting to you. Also no one is around telling you what to do every 5 seconds, professors don't tell you to take your hat off like they did in High School they really don't care I mean you are paying for the class. Also you can go eat all by yourself in the cafeteria and no one will judge you, No one really cares around here what you really do unlike high school people were very judgmental. College is the time to meet new people go out and have a great time. Yeah it might be hard not being around your friends and family all the time but thats what college is all about! Time to explore the world that is around you. You can also take naps wherever you are and no one will care. College is something that everyone should do yes it is very hard at times but in the end you know everything will be worth it. From those sleepless nights to even times where you don't even eat! College is something that everyone should look forward to. Wish you all the best of luck!

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

If you don't understand something don't be afraid to ask the professor is there for a reason. Sign up for a time to meet with your professor and also going to the tutor center is very helpful. But make sure to go in with a lot of questions.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I live in an all girls dorm so it can get a bit hectic in here. However I don't really mind it because I don't have to worry about seeing boys all the time. The rooms aren't that small and make sure to make your room feel at home. I mean you are pretty much living there 24/7

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food is food sometimes its good sometimes its not. But what can you do? The cafeteria food isn't horrible

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

I love to go to the lake go for a long nice walk or a run. The lake is so beautiful its so peaceful and nice it just brightens up my day. Also downtown is always a fun time exploring what new.

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

Campus safety is great! If you are in really bad shape because you are intoxicated or you aren't in a safe zone. You can call the security guards and they will go and get you in a matter of seconds which is really nice so nothing bad happens to anyone
