Dakota State University Top Questions

The snow has to be the worst thing. It can be fun if you make it fun but it does get way cold.

The worst part about the school would be the cafeteria. The lunch program really doesn't help the students out very much, but I suppose a college has to make money where it can.

The worst thing about DSU, is the lack of things to do in Madison on the weekends. Usually to do anything special on the weekends you will have to go to Sioux Falls which is about a 40 minute drive.

I think the parking is the worst thing. I have to walk quite a ways to get to my car.

It's small and not very academically prestigious.

The hardest thing about DSU was the adjustment to living in a small town coming from a large city. It takes patience and acceptance to adjust, but it is a unique opportunity to gain insight into a completely different lifestyle than high-speed city life. I have learned how to live in a caring community rather than a community where people don't even know their neighbors and traded in convenience stores on every corner for family owned buisness that value a personal touch.

My school is an hour from my house.

The worst thing about my school is the cost of living in the dorms and being required to purchase such large meal plans as a freshman and sophomore. I don't think you should be forced to buy such a big meal plan; it doesn't matter what level of school you have achieved. It shouldn't be required. Living in the dorms many times be noisy, unclean, and distracting to some students. The dorms should be cleaned more often and should have stricter rules about noise.

Location

The worst thing about my school would have to be the few disorganized professors, but they are few and far between. One other thing is the cold winters when walking outside to class, but it is worth it.
