Not a bad university. The class sizes at Minot State are small , campus is small so walking to and from classes isn't a hastle. Incoming freshman who live on campus will stay in freshman dorms which aren't anything special . There are 2 updated modern dorms which are way better than the freshman dorms. I suggest staying in the dorms if your not from the area only for the reason to build friendships. Along with the dorms the school cafateteria isn't bad just average cafateteria food.
The winters in North Dakota are tough , we get anything from from major snowstorms to -10 temperatures that last from December to March. I also found out the hard way that not starting your car in a North Dakota winter for a few days can kill the battery. However the campus does a good job of clearing the snow from the walkways.
Finally, the mall , Target , Walmart and most restaurants are all located at the Southern end of the city so it's a 10-15 minute drive to get there.

I did my education at an off-campus location and at times was very disappointed. The lack of structure, detail and communication with my advisor was sub-ideal. I ended up having to go back and take 6 classes, 1 week after submitting my grad application due to miscommunication and lack of attention to detail; i.e. my credits from my associates degree.
However, my professors and education was amazing. All my professors were very knowledgeable and personable and I enjoyed a majority of my classes and peers

What I really like about Minot State University is how this University is one of the cheapest school that really gives students around the world a chance to be able to enter college. Especially for those who are financially having a hard time. Another thing I really like about this university is the feeling of being connected with everyone. With the small community in Minot, you really get to interact with lots of people and learn about the different diversity.
