My experience at Minnesota State University Moorhead is unlike any other! The campus is a very inviting environment; there are always events going on whether it is sports, diversity, or arts. The professors give off a warm, caring aroma. No student should be afraid to ask for help from their professor; they are always willing whether it is through office hours or email. MSUM offers many ways to help students succeed; from tutoring to the Wellness Center for physical health. The campus is just the right size, not too small yet not overwhelming as well. As soon as I visited MSUM my senior year of high school, I knew it was home. Though, what I would like to see change is the exclusion from some activities held on campus. For example, they have activities that exclude some students from clubs or learning communities. I wish for more equality in allowing all students to be involved. Otherwise, I believe MSUM is a great place full of opportunities for students to further their education.
I had an amazing time at Moorhead pursuing an Animation degree. I took many film classes for this degree and the professors were great! They knew how to teach and made it interesting. Every once and a while I'd run into a tough professor that may have made a class challenging, but as long as I worked hard, I got amazing grades. The food could use some work. I remember the food takings awesome in the beginning and really starting to suck at the end. They do have an asian grill though, so that is a huge plus! The student life is great. I got an updated dorm, so that is nice. I would recommend 100% joining a learning community. I have that to thank for my success academically and socially on campus. The athletics aren't horrible. I know a lot of people say they go unheard of, but I was on the rugby and ultimate frisbee team. It was fun and the people on the teams took it seriously.
My first year at MSUM has been amazing! I enjoy the diverse on-campus activities that are available. My professors and advisors have been an invaluable bonus to my education. The classes offered through MSUM, as well as the tri-college arrangement, will prepare me for my future. Dorm life, while being an obvious change from living at home with my parents, has been a major asset to starting my education. Moorhead is a great community to be a part of.
