The overall atmosphere is pretty decent, but they seem to serve their white cisgender heterosexual abled male students better than their other students, not mention Christian students more than students of other religions. There's an atmosphere as if other students are told they're safe there, even if they themselves don't feel like they are. Coursework can be pretty heavy depending on the teacher and there are few accommodations for disabled students in this arena. There doesn't feel like there's a lot of push to get conservative students out of their comfort zone, despite their efforts to make progressive and/or minority students feel safe, which leads to an uneven feeling atmosphere. The dorms' air conditioning is selectively provided unless it's winter, which in summer can make students wonder how welcome they really are. There's a huge emphasis on campus involvement, which is great...unless you're disabled in some way.
As everyone knows the spring semester of the 2020 academic year has been an interesting and challenging one. Despite that MSUM's online learning switch was great! I had no issues with the online learning aspect of college, even though I would much rather be in the classroom with my fellow students and my professors.
I like Minnesota State University Moorhead because they offers in-state tuition to all student. They have an average class size of 24 with 17:1 student -faculty ratio which helps facilitate one on one interactions with professors. Taking about facilities, MSUM has one of the best State-of-the-art facilities Langseth Hall and Hagen Hall which are modern facilities providing experiential, student-centered learning in interesting spaces that are devoted to research and discovery. In addition to outstanding labs on campus, you can learn and do research at a field station at the MSUM Regional Science Center.
Furthermore, faculty-mentored research is the hallmark of the Biosciences department. Faculty and student collaborators regularly publish in academic peer-reviewed journals and present at regional and national conferences. Faculty and student researchers meet regularly to discuss research. These are but a few reasons why I like Minnesota State University Moorhead.
