I love Chadron! The way online classes are set up makes it easy for me to fit them into my crazy life. I can't say enough about the difference the Chadron experience has made in my ability to complete my undergrad degree and now return for my graduate degree.

I loved the campus of Chadron. It really was a good looking college and a great state college, the medical and scientific fields of the college are very impressive for having four cadavers at such a small school. Absolutely a great choice for students whop prefer personal help from teachers, as the school has a 14:1 faculty-student ratio.
My experience in Chadron State College was overall amazing. The professors are very helpful and patient with you. It's a small town so don't expect the party scene to be great because it's not. That is one of the reasons why I love attending because you have so much free time to focus on your academics more than partying. The people are great and very friendly, if you ever need help they'll come running in a second to come help with whatever you need.
