    This is one of the cheapest schools you will find. Even the out of state tuition is cheaper than most in state tuition. For this, you get access to millions of dollars worth of equipment and thousands of dollars worth of computer software.

    Do a little research and you will soon realize that our graduates are making more money (and spending less on their education) than any other school out there. Go ahead and Google South Dakota versus Harvard and you will see.

    It is worth every penny. I love the campus; it is small enough to walk around in 15 minutes but big enough to give you a little diversity. The people are willing to help you out in any way they can. There is always something going on. For those who are struggling with a class, there is free tutoring for any subject.

    You can't beat the price of SDSM&T. Out of state tuition, room, board, and expenses is less than $18k/year. Engineering graduate's starting salary averages $62k/year. There's not a better deal out there for engineers.
