    If someone is looking to come to NDSCS it is a great school, and it's not a big school so you don't have to get worried you will not find anything. There is so many different programs to enter, I would tell everyone to come here.

    I give North Dakota State College of Science 10 stars! All the students and teachers are very friendly. It's easy to find you way around and receive help if needed; which is VERY important to being successful.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a college that will feel a little more like home, I would definitely suggest North Dakota State College of Science. This is such a great college because it offers SO MANY degrees; you can pursue your major and be out in the work field in only two years!
    Academic Rigor

    Some of the programs at NDSCS have the most high success rate in the ENTIRE STATE! Classes here are very challenging but so rewarding! It's so easy to get help because of small class sizes and availability of tutors and teachers.
    Dorm Life

    I am a college freshman and I chose to live in a co-ed 10 story dorm, and I am so happy I did! I am a very shy person and when you are living with so many people in one place, you have no choice but to meet people! I also loved my dorm because it had so much space and in Nordgaard (the one I stayed in) we got our own showers!
    Food and Dining

    SOMEHOW I managed to avoid the freshman 15! The food here is delicious! You get a choice of two hot meals, choices of hot side-dished, choices of deli sandwiches, salad bar, soup, desserts, cereal, fruits, and they even have a soft serve ice cream machine! Also, the culinary students will prepare dinner and lunches sometimes, always a treat!
    What to do for fun

    Since Wahpeton is a small town I thought I would be bored out of my mind! However, there are many things to do in this little community! To keep it short and sweet I will list SOME activities I participated in this year via the community or put on my the school:
    Intramural volleyball, basketball, softball, dodge ball, free ice skating, kick ball, spent time at the zoo, skate park, free pool, jog on the trail, free and discounted movie nights, bowling, many dances, oksoberfest, attended football games, basketball games, softball games, ate at many restaurants, and many more things!
    Bang for the buck

    I was surprised at how cheap this college year was for me. I won't get into personal detail about how much I spent, but it was thousands less than my friends who went to the U of M, NDSU, and UND.
    The classes are challangeing as I said before, but when talking with my friends from other schools who take the same classes as me, their classes sound much harder. For example, in my Chemistry class, to get and A the grade scale is 100% to 87%
    In some colleges its 100% to 93%That is quite a difference.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Oksoberfest! It is a night to keep teens from drinking and it is SO MUCH fun! You create a team of 6 people and get to design costumes and make a team sign. You participate in games like root beer pong, tippy cup, chug race, and many other drinking games. However instead of alcohol, you are drinking root beer! It is a lot of fun and a great way to meet MANY people.
    There are so many goofy contests and games put on by the school that I couldn't even begin to list everything!
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for down to earth people. There are no Sororities or Frat houses, and not many stuck up or rude people. There are so many farm boys, car guys, and just plain beer guys! As for girls, all girls here are very nice and down to earth. There aren't any girls wearing Gucci everyday...Just a friendly place. =)
    Clubs and Activities

    As I mentioned before, there are countless activities on campus and off campus year round! They really keep us busy with fun new ideas every year! As for clubs, I am not in a club myself, but I think there are over 100 clubs. I will be in the Dental Hygiene club next year and this will help me meet more people as well as get help with my classes! However, there are also fun and goofy clubs, not just major related ones!
    Greek Life

    There are no Sororities or Frats on campus or around campus. However only a half hour away is Fargo where there is Greek Life, and even more so at UND in Grand Forks!
    Campus Safety

    Campus police are very friendly and always give the benefit of doubt. I've never had a problem with the police. They patrol day and night so there is a feeling of safety all the time. As I said before, Wahpeton is a small town so it isn't very scary to begin with!

    Am learning a lot

    The college offers a wide variety of classes and the instructors are very good. It is easy to get in touch with your instructor if you have any questions or concerns and most are very timely about answering you.
    Am enjoying being here

    Campus life is a little on the dull side since it is such a small town. They do try to plan activities to keep the students entertained. There is a game room in the student center as well as in many of the dorms. I found it easy to meet people too.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is low at this college compared to others in the state. I believe you really get your money's worth and more!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are unsure of anyone you know going to the college, live in the dorms if possible. It's a great experience and it becomes homey after getting used to them. The meals are good unless you are an extremely picky eater. The staff is very polite and helpful so you should have no trouble if you are confused on something.
