I attended Minnesota State University Moorhead some time ago, but took a few classes again in 2019 before transferring. I really loved the diversity and accepting attitude on campus and made many good friends and acquaintances. Professors, in my experience, were pretty average aside from my Political Science teacher who was really helpful and kind. Some of the advisors, staff, and RAs are very kind too and seem to really care about students. The campus is conveniently in one area and has a very homey feel, so you can get to all your classes very quickly and conveniently. Fargo-Moorhead is a nice city as well, met some of my best friends there. Overall, I had a wonderful experience as a freshman student.
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.
So far my experience has been mostly good. One of the down falls is that a lot of their emails are wrong or tell you multiple things but in different orders which made things confusing for move-in day. Also they need to put specific address's for parking lots and residence halls in their emails as my parking lot was located on 9th Ave South but their are two different streets with the same name and google maps brings you to the wrong one. So far they have not enforced the quiet hours especially outside the residence halls. The good things though are classes are easy to find, everything is a short 5-10 minute walk, you get free MatBus rides with your student ID. They have multiple majors and minors to choose from, as well as different types of dorm rooms from, single, single double, double (roommate), and apartments.
