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.
From the moment you step on campus at MSUM, you are in a welcoming environment from everyone you meet. The faculty and administration works to ensure that every student has the opportunities nessesary to achieve. The student life is a cut above the rest. With over 100 student organizations and clubs, students are given the freedom and opportunity to find their place based on their own interests. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The campus is accessible and well planned out. The surrounding Fargo/Moorhead area provides a welcoming community that has all the amenities of a metropolitan area, with the connected community feeling of a small town. A close knit community where you’re bound to see someone you know on your way around campus. This creates lasting relationships between friends and peers that can last a life time. If you’re interested in a University that will work to propel you to the next stage of your life, then Minnesota State University Moorhead is for you.
