    Great for these types of students

    Dixie is great for: people who are married, people who have families, that they need to provide for financially, but still would like to receive an education, and people who just want to get generals out of the way for cheap.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you aren't sure what you want to go into for your career or what you want for your education than Dixie's associate program will fit you. If you want to gain a Bachelors you should decide what you would like, because it is a painful process to start over.
    Bang for the buck

    For the price Dixie State college is a good school. If you are interested in getting an Associates or a Bachelors (if they have the program), but have a family to take care of then this is definitely the school for you. Dixie State allows you to gain an education without breaking the bank.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere is wonderful at Dixie State College. The students show respect and care for one another. You are never alone at Dixie State. There is not a single class where the students do not group together as study buddies and homework groups. The best thing is that everyone is welcome and feels welcome at Dixie State. On the flip side the teachers range from thinking that they are the almighty on earth and wanting every student to succeed. Students who get a bad teacher though do not have to worry that their grade will suffer though, because other students who have had that teacher and who are having that teacher with you love to help.
    Am learning a lot

    Dixie State is a college that has its strengths and weaknesses. Depending on what field you are going into, you can feel either immersed in knowledge or left out to dry. I now am learning quite a bit, the psychology program has finally got finalized at Dixie State. So, now, even though they don't have enough teachers for the student load, it feels as if you are accomplishing something by attending this school and participating in this program.

    Southern Utah has never been a closed community we like outsiders and love to talk to them to find out there experiences. I take the chance that so many people come to this college to talk to them.

    If you take a class from Russell Gordon in Hurricane you are sure to understand the math. He is a great teacher and I'm sure many more like him are employed there.

    Great for these types of students

    Dixie is awesome for students who live in St. George(or near by) who don't wish to go to a costly large university and just want to stay local. This school is also great for those that wish to get into the Nursing field because of the school's amazing Nursing program. Another awesome part of the medical programs at the school is if you wish to transfer to say the University of Utah, acceptance of those students are way high, because the University of Utah knows of Dixie's excellent teaching and wish for those students to come. The list goes on and on.
    Tips for prospective students

    For tips, make sure to go to Dixie events and other out of class activities, it is really the best way to get the best out of your college experience, you can always have fun at Dixie, you just need to put yourself out their to see it.
    Bang for the buck

    The amazing thing about Dixie State College is for the fact of it being so cheap as a College. Tuition for a full schedule of classes, per semester is only around $ 2,000, which is quite impressive for a College, everyone has a chance here at Dixie.
    Will enjoy being here

    If you would like a enjoyable college experience, you should come to Dixie State College, not only are the classes very well maintained, but they are made to only have around 30-40 students, to give each student the available time to speak with the professor of any questions or concerns. If you think the classes are great, you should check out, outside of the classroom. The Sporting events are spectacular and fun, everyone i have spoken to has enjoyed them thoroughly, Dixie is a great choice of study.
    Will learn a lot

    you will learn a lot, i have sat in on classes, and was very much impressed, the professors for the most part are well rounded and know their topics. They stayed focused on what they know they need to teach and present their work very clear and concise.

    If you love diversity, Dixie is the perfect place for you! Even though it's a smaller town there is still lots to do especially for the social butterflies. St. George is a very safe enviornment and Dixie has room for all types of students!
    Tips for prospective students

    Take it easy your first semester otherwise you may get overwhelmed. however here at Dixie we have many on hand counselors with whom you can talk to whenever. we also have a health and wellness center where you can get check-ups and they also have all types of counseling.
    Bang for the buck

    Dixie has a lot to offer for being in a smaller scale town! Tuition is fair, and there is many great campus activities that come from it!
    Am enjoying being here

    I never intended on going to college because i thought it would be just like high school. Thankfully i was wrong! Dixie State has changed my whole outlook on everything! The People are very kind and considerate, the teachers care and help you strive to do your best, and the overall environment is very relaxing and home-y. There is never a dull moment and there is something for everyone! I got involved with SHE Club and started a book club! There is endless possibilities!
    Am learning a lot

    The teachers legitimately care whether or not you fail. They stay after office hours and give you multiple ways to contact them if you need help! There is many resources on campus such as the career center, the health and wellness center and the tutoring center!

    Campus Safety

    the campus police officers are very much so on top of things. from car accidents to tickets those officers do a great job.
    Clubs and Activities

    there are many clubs at dixie state college, if you can think it it's probably there, and if not a student can make a club.
    What to do for fun

    there are lots of fun activities close to campus such as; laser tagging, bowling, and even concerts. for fun activities for free one could always go play hide and go seek in town square, or take a stroll down main street.
    Food and Dining

    the food at the college is delicious! although it has somewhat of a small cafeteria, the people that work there are very kind and helpful. on top of that, did i already say the food is really good?
    Dorm Life

    dorm life is awesome! there are a lot of student activities that are on campus or very close to campus. there are many fun people in the dorms, and the ra's are very nice.
    Academic Rigor

    dixie state college is becoming a very studious school. it will be hitting university status soon, and so it is adding many new degrees. while dixie used to be a two year school, it has made many new four year degrees.
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure that you always stay on top of your homework. if a professor tells you to read the book, you should probably read it. join clubs, you will make lots of friends. make sure you pay attention in class, and make sure that you also go to class.
    In three sentences

    dixie college really cares about their students, and really wants to help them succeed and grow. the one great quality about dixie is that students are not just another number; they actually matter. students at dixie really get the full college experience.

    great for students who are not sure what to go into yet. This is a place where students can be closer to teachers and ask questions. small classrooms provide for a more personalized curriculum
    Tips for prospective students

    don't be afraid to get yourself involved and get out and meet new people. Be willing to let go of high school and make Dixie State College the place where you can truly grow in a college environment.

    worth the money put in. For the education and personal treatment from staff, it definitely is worth the tuition to come and earn a good degree from Dixie State College.
    Am enjoying being here

    I live at home, so it makes it difficult to be involved with the campus activities. However, it is a great place to meet a diversity of students and develop as an individual.
    Am learning a lot

    Dixie State is a smaller college. So this provides for a personal one on one student to teacher relationship not offered in larger universities. The professors are well rehearsed in their fields and more than willing to help student excel and progress in their studies. I've seen teachers have such an interest in their students and their well being. Resources are infinite and, if used correctly can unlock a large wealth of knowledge

    This is my first semester at Dixie and so far it has been amazing! The environment and atmosphere promote academic achievement as well as social interaction. Dixie doesn't want you just to bump up their statistics, they want you to have a wonderful experience and a quality education. My teachers have been more than qualified and teach on a personal level. I feel I can connect with them and my fellow students and enhance my learning experience.

    Campus Safety

    i feel very safe at dixie. southern utah still has that little town feel even though it is getting bigger and bigger. the campus police are very kind and are always willing to help you any time you need it.
    Greek Life

    there isn't really any greek life. for me, i see that as a positive thing.
    Clubs and Activities

    there are tons of clubs and activities. i cant even list them all because there are so many, but it feels like they are always having different activities going on. for example, last week they had the date doctor come. he did love comedy. we have had hypnotist, dances and performances.
    Great for these types of students

    great for students who are looking for a good education for a decent price. also if you are the type of person who needs individualized teaching, dixie is a wonderful place for you. the teachers want to teach you what you want to learn, and they are happy to answer any of your questions. they always have open office hours and many will schedule other times to meet with you individually.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    one thing that dixie has done over the years and has been very popular is the relay race up the mountain to paint the d. they carry a bucket of paint and run it all the way up the mountain and paint the d every year on homecoming week. another tradition is becoming a true rebel. you have to kiss some one at the pond on homecoming night.
    Bang for the buck

    by far the best bang for your buck. dixie is one of the most inexpensive schools and in this economy that is key. you are getting a good education on a beautiful campus, warm weather, and plenty to do at a very low tuition price.
    What to do for fun

    there is a lot of outdoor recreation here in southern utah. a lot of people go hiking, caving, swimming and to one of our two lakes. the warm weather down here makes the lakes very popular. people go boating, cliff jumping or just swimming. there are also plenty of parties, so if that is your thing you will definitely enjoy it here.
    Food and Dining

    i would say the food is decent. i like the small intimate dinning area, which allows students to interact and get to know new people.
    Dorm Life

    i personally never stayed in the dorms and have not heard much about them unfortunately.
    Academic Rigor

    dixie allows any one to gain an education. there are classes which are slower pace to help those just starting school again, as well as challenging classes, which prepare students for further education or to begin their career.
    Tips for prospective students

    never be afraid to seek out a professor for help. i have yet to meet any professor at dixie who is not willing to help in any way they can. don't over load yourself to the point where you want to quit. have good time management, set aside times for studying or homework and stick to those times.
    In three sentences

    dixie is wonderful for several reasons beginning with small classes which allow one-one-one learning with professors. second, you get a personalized education that is affordable. last, it has amazing potential to continue to grow and adopt more majors and opportunities.

    Tuition at Dixie State College is extremely low and you don't pay credit to credit. You can get 12-17 credits for a little over $1,000 if you are an in-state resident. there are also several opportunities available that are included in your tuition cost such as tutoring, writing help, and great counselors.
    What to do for fun

    They have several activities available for every kind of person ranging from sports to study groups, to chess club. Saint George is beautiful year-round. The summers can get very hot but there are three lakes very close-by as well as a number of swimming pools. You can also hike, run, bike, rock climb, and visit Zion National Park which is very close by. There are also clubs that are geared towards those who are more into academics such as chess club, tutoring, and several other opportunities.
    Food and Dining

    They have one cafeteria on campus that serves pretty much every type of food. they have chinese, mexican, homestyle, and classic greasy american, yum! They also have several great restaraunts off-campus.
    Dorm Life

    While I don't live in the dorms at Dixie State College, I have taken tours of them and they are top-quality.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers are excellent and extremely knowledgeable about their field. Most of the professors are extremely easy to talk to if you need help and there are also other ways to help improve your grades if you need. If you put in the work you need to, you will do great at this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest that you take advantage of the academic advisement, tutoring center, writing center, and all the other student service opportunities avalible to students. I would also suggest that you take a tour of the campus and talk to students about their experiences at the school.

    During Homecoming Dixie does true rebel night. to become a true rebel at Dixie you kiss someone in the campus fountain at midnight at the end of homecoming. The student body officers give you true rebel chapstick and a true rebel card that you can brag about. It's a lot of fun!
    What to do for fun

    The best thing about going to Dixie State College is the beautiful outdoors that surround it. I went skydiving just half an hour away from campus and there are beautiful places like Zion and Snow Canyon to rock climb, hike and bike all around and the weather is usually clear. there are always shows and concerts going on at the college and local theaters that are fun to go to.
    Food and Dining

    The food at the campus diner is actually really good. they have everything from country homecooking to chinese to italian so there is plenty of variety. there are also a lot of restaurants and places to eat really close to campus.
    Dorm Life

    I live at home, but my friends live on dorm and they seem really nice but don't have kitchens so you have to eat at the campus diner.
    Academic Rigor

    I would say the academic rigor is about 3 and 1/2 stars. I learn a lot in class, but there usually isn't that much homework. most of your grade is based on test scores which aren't too bad; just study what you learn in class.
    Tips for prospective students

    I've found that if you seek a professor outside of class for extra help they are always very willing to help with anything you need. I would check ratemyprofessor.com or ask other students before signing up for classes. With college growing so fast, they are hiring teachers with little experience who don't really care about their job. There are a lot of awesome teachers, just make sure to do a little research to ensure you get the best.

    Dixie State College is fast growing college that is constantly striving to improve campus environment and classroom quality. The learning atmosphere is focused on each individual. There is also a lot of on-campus activities which helps bring the student body closer together.

    St. George has very nice weather, so you can always be outdoors. There are places where you can go hiking. Dixie is located near St. George Boulevard which has several different restaurants to choose from, so you will never not have somewhere to eat. There are also a few movie theaters around Dixie, so you can see a flick.

    DSC is currently one of the cheapest (not in a bad way) colleges in Utah. Although that is offset by living in a high Cost-of-living area.
    What to do for fun

    The town around St. George has a ton of activities for people into sports, but very little for party people and clubbers
    Food and Dining

    They are expensive and bland. Only eat there as a last resort or you have to have a meal plan.
    Dorm Life

    Live off campus if you drink, smoke, or have a girlfriend/boyfriend. DSC has very strict dorm rules that complicate any of the above factors.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes at DSC are hard; however, classes are small, so you get extra help when you need it for professors.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not procrastinate with FAFSA or any admissions applications, DSC classes are great, the admissions are not so much. Also, the food vendors at DSC are a rip-off, either drive to another food joint or walk elsewhere.
    In three sentences

    The great thing about DSC is that the classes are usually small and the teachers know your name. The bad thing about DSC is that it is in southern Utah and it gets extremely hot, as in over 100 degree hot. Dixie State College is a great place for students that did not do so well in high school or are returning students.

    I really liked food at the grill. They force you to have a meal plan if you're staying in the dorms so that's kind of annoying for some people who would like to cook by themselves and didn't have the money for the meal plan but I really liked it because I suck at cooking... Hahaha
    Dorm Life

    They were really cheap but they haven't been updated within the past 10 years and were pretty small. You get what you pay for I suppose. I really liked how close you were to all your neighbors and friends though. They had cool and not over-bearing rules too with fun activities always planned and going on.
    Academic Rigor

    They were't extremely difficult, they had great teachers, a great support system for your studies, but didn't have the huge selection of classes, majors, and whatnot as maybe a big university would have. Overall, I would give their Academic Rigor a B+.

    Join clubs, go to games, GET INVOLVED! Do as much as you can to make your student experience the best that it possibly can be. It's a friendly and social campus so make the most of it.
