Review Minot State University
The staff and students at Minot state university are very nice and welcoming. They prepare and build students for a bright future through their various counseling, tutoring and mentoring programs. There are also many activities and clubs for students to join, in the school. The academic system is very good. There also a lot of students from various part of the world. The campus and it's food is very good.
I think the athletics are doing just fine because its a less populated place compare to other city. Students are involve but I think few are mainly require from international students, which could have be of benefit to the school, however it is understandable due to regulation. Nevertheless, the athletic facilities are very updated and the wellness center its very passionate about their activities. The gym is perfect for Olympic which is my most favorite of probably i because i like it the most and as a two time gold medal in indoor rowing, I also appreciate the initiative of adding indoor rowing to the facilities.
