Sophomore: Professors are highly knowledgeable, passionate about their subject matter, and committed to helping their students succeed.

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

Freshman: When I first toured Valley City State University, there were several things which immediately captured my interest and led to my applying there. First off, walking up to the university, I was struck by the beautiful campus. The buildings and structures were lovely, and walking down the halls and exploring different rooms I could feel that they were filled with history. Then I learned about their fantastic teaching program. I was planning to major in Mathematics education, and their teaching program was exactly what I felt I needed to begin my journey. I think what convinced me the most though, that this was the school for me, was the kind and friendly atmosphere of the campus. Everyone I met was genuinely and very helpful. I felt very welcome there. The only thing I might have changed was during my first semester is was required that I live in a dorm on campus which I couldn’t afford, so I completed this first year online to avoid that. Otherwise I have been extremely happy with VCSU.... Read 106 reviews

Sophomore: I loved the environment and the people there at Untied Tribes, everyone was so nice and kind to me my first year.

Junior: Trinity Bible College and Graduate School is an oasis in the middle of a small town. One word that always comes to mind when I think of TBC is 'family'. I truly believe there is no other school that creates such a bond among the students, professors, staff, and faculty. I am blessed to currently attend such a biblically grounded school surrounded by people that help me in my walk with God. I truly feel cared about here. Beyond that, I can tell that my professors are giving me the highest quality education they can! they care about their students and want them to succeed. The Lord has blessed TBC and continues to radically change the lives of those who attend. I highly recommend this college to anyone; especially those who want God-centered community, education, and life-long friends.... Read 127 reviews

Sophomore: Cankdeska Cikina Community College is a great place to start or continue your education! The staff is super helpful and encouraging. 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....
