BSC is pretty cheap compared to the other schools in North Dakota. The teachers here are really nice and they seem to care about their students. There is free ice cream in Wednesdays and Fridays in the cafeteria, and sometimes there are other special events involving food including: Kuchen for Oktober fest, free brownies, and during the warmer months, someone will grill hot dogs for everyone.
I just wish I would have waited a year before entering school so I could have really thought about what I wanted to study in college.

My courses aren't horrible. They're not too hard but they're also not too easy. All of my professors are nice and the homework load isn't too bad. We have a variety of courses ranging from career and technical, energy, to art-visual. My graphic design classes don't have too many people in it, maybe around ten. My English class is closer to fifteen, we also sit in desks that are arranged in a giant circle so we get to awkwardly stare at each other.
My major is biology, while I am also planning on minoring in education. Biology is my favorite science subject and I really enjoy the curriculum and how the professors teach. They encourage on asking questions and will assist in delving deeper into questions an individual may have. One job opportunity that the Biology department has is a work study, where a student sets up labs and learns the ins and outs of how a biology lab works. The work load is average and I have never felt too overwhelmed or short on time for any of our assignments or projects.
