Sophomore: Professors are highly knowledgeable, passionate about their subject matter, and committed to helping their students succeed. The campus is also welcoming and supportive, with a strong sense of community among students and faculty alike.

Freshman: So far though I have only been here minimally, a month and a half, my experience has been decent. My classes and professors are excellent and I have only had a few problems with the books store which professors have been understanding of. Professors are understanding and will listen if you have a valid issue that requires accommodations. My largest issue has been the lack of standardization amongst facilities. The older facilities are crumbling apart and unsafe, while the newer buildings are fantastic. This is specifically true with the residence halls. Some of the halls are desirable and excellent quality while others are unsafe. The difference is students must pay more for quality which is unfair. Students who come from lower-income families and situations shouldn't be forced to live in less satisfactory conditions. Otherwise, I have been enjoying myself. The students are nice and the activities are very good.... Read 1,153 reviews

Junior: NDSU is a great campus because it's not too big, but it's also not too small. It feels like the perfect size. I also think the campus is beautiful in terms of its scenery and architecture. There are some beautiful old buildings that have been kept in good condition without being totally refurbished. The professors at this school are amazing as well. They really seem to care about each student's success and they are actually quite informal a lot of times. I've had several professors whom I know on a first-name basis. I've had such a fantastic experience here at NDSU and I would recommend anyone to come here!... Read 1,309 reviews

Sophomore: The university is small, which is excellent for accessing professors for help and assistance. Sometimes it is too small socially. The campus is quaint and beautiful during all seasons of the year. If anything could change, it would definitely be the food! As it is difficult to prepare large amounts of food for many students, there could be more offerings for students to get ample nutrition. The housing options offered are nice and expanding, however, it would be nice if there were more single rooms offered for students to have their own quiet spaces. Overall, my first year + at UJ has been a positive learning experience!... Read 168 reviews

Junior: I love the close knit experiences that the university provides everyday. Teachers care about their students and will provide one on one instruction of needed. Games and actives are hosted all around campus pretty often and gets students to build relationships with each-other and earn chances at prizes. Media is posted often to keep students in the loop and attending events. It also gives something for the public to follow too if there are athletics to attend. Being in a sports team, my teachers are very receptive to meets and dates that I am not able to attend class. Every class is recorded and able to be accessed even after class is over. It makes it nice if you have to go back and take notes or if you are on the road. Our president makes him self present at every event I’ve seen and is a big supporter of the students here. The tuition is very affordable and there are many options for scholarships. This is my 5th year as a college student and this is by far my favorite Campus. Home... Read 123 reviews

  Rating 3.64 out of 5  145 reviews

Junior: My experience with Mayville has been unique because I am an online student who is not located in North Dakota. Most of my classes and professors have been excellent and I have learned a lot through my courses. Administratively, there have been some set-backs and issues. I found Mayville while searching online programs since I'm the primary care taker of my two daughters an work part-time, so I needed flexibility and a great program. Mayville showed up as one of the best online programs out there. While I do think the professors are exceptional, I would love if they updated their program to be more flexible for solely online students and especially students that are not located in ND. Scholarships, class options, etc. are all limited and very specific to in-state so that can be frustrating as someone located on the other side of the country.... Read 145 reviews

Freshman: I really like my experience at WSC so far! The school is very nice and clean. There are always activities that goes on at campus that involve the students. This is a great school to be a student athlete at because of how seriously sports are taken here. WSC is a great place to start if you are looking to transfer onto a four year and even better if you are planning on graduating with an associates degree. There are many things that you can be apart of. Everyone including, professors and staff are all so nice and make the college experience a lot more enjoyable. If I could change something about WSC, I would make the campus food more enjoyable and have more options for the students. Besides that, I really enjoy WSC and would recommend this school to others!... Read 74 reviews

Freshman: Lake Region State College has a moto of changing lives. They are 100 percent true to that statement as I have only been here for a small number of weeks, my life is already improved. The small class sizes makes the environment outstandingly comforting as an incoming freshman. This school does not fail to make you feel cared for and taken care of. This is the type of school where teachers remember your name after the first day and say hello in the hallways. I am the type of student that requires one on one attention to be able to complete the task given to me and this is exactly what I am receiving at Lake Region. I am apart of the softball team as well and it is nothing less than a family. The coaching staff resembles a parental figure. I am only three weeks into my two-year long adventure with Lake Region and I am already loving it. I am an international student who came down from Canada, the process was made very easy. I am very glad I chose Lake Region State College and you will be!... Read 42 reviews

Freshman: I really like Dakota College at Bottineau. The staff are very friendly and are willing to help when you need assistance. In my previous class, I needed tech support and they were ready and willing to help me solve my technical problem. The instructors were there to help me with any questions I had and even made up some practice sheets for a class I was in for extra practice. I did all online classes. The only issue I had was I wish there were video lectures to help me understand what concepts I needed to learn. I am quite satisfied with Dakota College at Bottineau and am excited to continue my educational goals with this college.... Read 41 reviews

Advisors are always there to help as well as your instructors, they will always help you go the extra mile to get you to graduation! One thing I would change is the amount of programs they do have, they are limited but not isolated in the type of programs they offer! It’s a very resourceful and professional college to attend....
