I have only toured there, but I loved it! I had a great tour guide. It was specialized to me because I got to meet with someone who was in the education department which was what I am interested in as a career. I also got a free shirt, waterbottle and drawstring bag. I got to tour everywhere! Nothing I would of changed.
Mayville State University was a fantastic experience. All of the teachers and staff were very friendly and helpful. The best part about this school is the location. The school is located in a very small town, but during the school year it turns into a melting pot of diversity. I met other students from all accross the united states and even other countries, all the while maintaining the safe, slow paced life in a small town.
