    Am learning a lot

    SDSU has a great environment set up for learning and getting to that boring part of college we all dread...studying. The fact that most of the people in my dorm (Matthews) were involved in the same things as I am meant they were in a lot of my classes which made it awesome when it came time to getting some work done! The student union is a fantastic quiet place to kick back, enjoy a cup of coffee and get some last minute studying done.

    Am enjoying being here

    I love the environment at SDSU - everyone is friendly and anyone can find a group with similar interests as himself or herself. (Almost) all the teachers are open to questions and are very very helpful.

    Bang for the buck

    You cannot possible beat the price SDSU has to offer. Not only does it cost easily under $13k to attend the college but the living expenses in South Dakota are just cheaper in general. This is a perfect place for any student on a tight budget.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to check out all the dorms, as some are newer (and much nicer) than the others. Matthews and Brown are both the top winners in my book.

    Great for these types of students

    Great for anyone on a tight budget or anyone involved in Engineering, Agriculture or the Math and Sciences.

    Tips for prospective students

    What makes SDSU such a great fit for me are the activities I am involved in. UPC, Student's Association, and being on the Women's Equestrian Team all keep me busy while providing me with the opportunity to meet new people all the time. The people on campus are exceptionally welcoming and open. Even the professors take an uncommon interest in their students. They are always available to help or answer questions. But bring your winter gear...campus is COLD!

    Great for these types of students

    The west edge of campus is devoted to the country kids, especially Hansen hall and the Animal Science unit. Midwestern kids will feel right at home in the small town atmosphere, but city kids will appreciate the variety of people and activities. Sports fanatics will love the Division I sporting events and dramatics should take note of our Performing Arts Center, which is world class and soon to be expanded.

    Am learning a lot

    I graduated with a class of 17, and I was really worried about how I would be able to handle learning at a college level, but SDSU is a great school for obtaining knowledge. Since I have been at school I feel like I have made the right choice for the career that I would like to pursue. I am currently a pre-nursing student who has made the Dean's list within the first semester of college. I feel that SDSU has great programs and they will only get better from here.

    Am enjoying being here

    I love the atmosphere at SDSU! They have so many activities for all types of people. They really encourage everyone to get out and be active. You can even join their University Program Council (UPC) as a freshman! The best part would be living in the dorms, it's like living in a hotel with friends.

    Bang for the buck

    SDSU is definitely worth your money. If you put in an honest effort to meet people and do well in school your more than likely going to succeed! SDSU sets you up so that you are guaranteed to have a job right after graduation.

    Tips for prospective students

    I would say it's best to find where you study best once you get to campus, since you will be using that place quite a bit. Also, it's less of a hassle when you order your books online instead of getting them from the bookstore, unless you want to wait 30-45min in line.

    Great for these types of students

    SDSU is a great school if your looking into Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering, Pre-Veterinary, and any other pre-professions. All around SDSU has very many different majors, you could change your mind 100 times and still have something to fall back on.

    Am learning a lot

    I enjoy classes at SDSU because the professors care about the students. It gives the place very much a small-town feeling. I would definitely rank the education that the Engineering college has to offer up there with some of the better known Engineering colleges across the country. Also at SDSU, I am able to make my degree unique by combining different technical electives.

    Am enjoying being here

    When I first stepped onto campus, I felt at home. The dorm life is set up well, so you can make many new friends and have new experiences. I live in a central part of campus, so it's always easy to find something to do but it's still easy to focus on my studies as well. I have been able to make more friends through organizations I've joined that interest me (SWE, HCSO, FOCUS). There is something here for everyone!

    Bang for the buck

    Even though tuition was slightly raised again, SDSU is still by far one of the most affordable institutions of its kind. A year of school costs just under $13,000 if you live on campus and buy your books through the university store. Because SDSU wants all students to get a good education, there are many scholarships and financial aid available to students. That's how I can afford school coming from a farming household. I feel I have definitely received my money's worth of an education.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you decide to live on campus the first year, make the most of it. There are so many opportunities on campus; you just have to put yourself out there and find something you like to do. Keep your door open when you're in your hall because it's easier to meet people that way. Get a flex meal plan if you want to eat somewhere other than Larson all the time. And usually when professors tell you to read something, you should. If you don't, it may come back to haunt you. It's no fun to try to catch up, so try to stay on top of your work. But most of all, have fun! College is suppose to be a good time.

    Great for these types of students

    Consider SDSU especially if you are interested in agriculture, engineering, pharmacy or nursing. The other programs are good as well. I chose SDSU as much for its programs as for its closeness to home. Anyone from SD, MN and some other surrounding states should consider SDSU for an affordable, quality education.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot for the most part, however most general classes are host to 300 students which makes concentrating somewhat difficult.

    Am enjoying being here

    SDSU is a lot of fun. The campus is huge and there is a lot of different activities for every person.

    Bang for the buck

    The campus does feature a lot of different places that your tuition dollars go to such as the new wellness center. While there is a lot of construction going on this year there are a lot of old classrooms that could use some sprucing up.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you are ok with classes of 300 some people, because these are the classes I spent my first semester in. And also make sure you are ready for some serious walking, or I guess you could bike or drive if you really wanted to.

    Great for these types of students

    SDSU is great for students who want to go to school with quite a large number of students, and who want to be able to participate in a plethora of different groups and activites.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes are barely stimulating. Even in my 300 level classes I feel like I did harder things in high school.

    Am enjoying being here

    There is nothing to do off campus and nobody keeps their doors open in the residence halls. It seems like people already have their friends from high school and they don't want to meet any more. In the first month here I encountered more racism and horrid behavior than I would ever expect. There are a lot of people who are not afraid to voice their prejudices here. All the clubs and activities I was interested in are practically dead, like Spanish Club or American Humanics.

    Bang for the buck

    It's really nicely priced and if one is looking for easy classes and a social climate like high school, it's a great place to be.

    Tips for prospective students

    Try to get into the Grove Area dorms; Pierson, Mathews, Brown or Larson Area dorms Binnewies and Young. They're close to the Union and all the activity on campus. Plus, the bathrooms and Larson Commons dining area are newly renovated.

    Great for these types of students

    Cowboys, small-town kids, stoners, slackers, pharmacy majors.

    SDSU is my home away from home. Everyone here is so nice, the teachers are always here for you and willing to help you learn. The campus is beautiful, in the summer there is green grass and flowers everywhere and in the winter a fresh coat of snow is on top of everything and makes it so pretty.

    Tips for prospective students

    My suggestions are get to know your professors, your advisers, and your lab TA's and interns. they will be so helpful be it from writing letters of recommendations to helping to answer questions. Your advisor is always there for you and will help you through anything. As for your professors putting in that extra effort will really show them how interested in that subject you are and they will be more helpful when you go to them. Finally, take advantage of study sessions, SI, and tutoring, you may think you understand something but it never hurts to get that extra explanation.

    Academic Rigor

    This is really dependant on the classes you take. My freshman year I took rather difficult classes, with a few more simple ones thrown in here and there but college is nothing like high school, there is no required homework to keep you on top of things. You really need to go to class everyday, keep on it with the course work and definitely study.

    Dorm Life

    Dorm life at SDSU for me was amazing it doesn't matter what dorm you live in, i lived in Brown Hall and Mathews Hall, brown was known for being cheep and the bathrooms weren't the most pleasant places but the people i met and the memories i made completely made up for everything. Mathews hall is the honors/pre professional/engineering hall, it was really nice to be surrounded by people with similar majors to you and who could help you with anything you needed.

    Food and Dining

    Not going to lie, the food on campus could definitely be better. But SDSU is adding in panda express, and Chick Fil A which will definitely help. There are a lot of choices for food so if one thing is not your favorite you have other choices.

    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of things to do at SDSU. Since I was there all of the time I got to experience a lot of them. on the weekend UPC holds programs called weekend stuff it ranges from movies to bingo. They are a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people. There is also random things to do on the weekdays all held by UPC such as concerts and comedians, all free.

    Bang for the buck

    SDSU is very inexpensive but you get all the advantages of a big university, we are a division one school so you get to experience the fun of the football games and basketball games. The education you receive nowhere parallel to the price you pay. The things I've learned and the experiences I've had far outweigh the price.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    SDSU has one thing that no other school has. Hobo Days. Hobo Days is our homecoming everyone dresses up like hobos and people come from all over the state to watch the parade and football game.it is really a week long celebration that has the dorms fraternities and sororities competing against each other in various spirit activities.

    Clubs and Activities

    SDSU has a club for everyone, there is everything from pre professionals club to skydiving club. Whatever your interest may be SDSU probably has a club for you!

    Greek Life

    I may be a little bias considering I am a member of Greek life but I think the Greek community at SDSU is amazing. It may not be the biggest but we are a tight knit community within a bigger community. There are three Sororities: Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, and Ceres and six Fraternities: Alpha Gamma Rho, Farm House, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Phi Delta, Delta Chi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Everyone has a unique group of people and most anybody can find a group to get along with.

    SDSU has a wide variety of programs and opportunities for it's students. They constantly have construction going on, which I did not like as a student because I never really felt like I was getting the typical college experience because of it. The classes I have taken range from have 400 students in one classroom to being one of fifteen students.

    Tips for prospective students

    If getting the food plan, budget your money, but SDSU food services help you do this. Be prepared to walk, the campus is quite large. When buying books for your classes I highly recommend buying them online via amazon.com or half.com. They are way cheaper than SDSU's bookstore. And I would highly recommend reselling your books on amazon.com or half.com because you are more likely to get your money back opposed to trying to sell them back to the SDSU bookstore.

    Academic Rigor

    I am transferring because they didn't have my major that I wanted, however they do offer a wide variety of majors.

    Dorm Life

    Dorms are expensive and small.

    Food and Dining

    Almost all of the book they have is absolutely delicious.

    What to do for fun

    SDSU offers many different sporting events that go on all year long that is free to students. SDSU's Wellness center has a bunch of exercise equipment and classes that students can take. There are occasional dances that are usually pretty fun, and the UPC puts on a lot of free, fun events.

    Bang for the buck

    SDSU is quite cheap if you're an in-state student compared to a lot of other colleges.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    SDSU has a dairy bar with delicious ice cream, a campanile that you can climb, an art museum, and a beautiful nature park called McCrory Gardens.

    Great for these types of students

    Hard working, like to have fun students.

    Clubs and Activities

    There are a wide variety of clubs and activities available for students.

    You can't beat the education you receive from SDSU. Some of the most renowned professor's teach here. Its a big enough college to offer just about anything but you still have class sizes small enough for the teachers to know you by name.

    Am enjoying being here

    SDSU offers so many extra curricular activities it will make your head spin. They have every kind of intramural sport you can think of and some that you cant! You will also never find a town, school and community that is more friendly than Brookings.

    Bang for the buck

    Not only can you get a quality education but its also afordable! Most of the schools I looked at before SDSU were $24K and above. When I checked out SDSU the outstate tuition was $15K!! So while i was getting a great education i was also saving anywhere from $9K-&15K!!!

    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved in everything you can. Your never to busy or to cool to be involved in clubs, organizations, intramural activities, or the many other things SDSU has to offer. Not only will you make life long friends but the connections you make will benefit you in life after college, not to mention it will make for a great looking resume!

    Learning includes more than just in the classroom. The college allows the students to grow, and coming from a small town, I am not only learning about the classes themselves, but how to study, and about diversity.

    Am enjoying being here

    I love the college itself. It is a large campus for me, but it is not so large that anyone could not handle it. The atmosphere is great, and seccure. The campus is beautiful and is very aqcuiring to the student.

    Bang for the buck

    The first thing this makes me thing of is the food. The food is great, especially for a college campus. Food is comparable to home, especially when there is a home-coooked meal. Not only that, but general schooling is fairly cheap and reasonable no matter what profession or career you decide to pursue.

    Tips for prospective students

    Get out and about. There are a lot of things that a student can do on our campus. From sports to international activities, there is a lot the students can do. Also, use resources such as SI and tutoring, they help in many aspects, and can allow you to grow in your classes.

    I absolutely love SDSU! Not only are the professors fun but they care about what you learn and that you understand what you are learning. Knowing the professors are there to help you, it pushes you to work your hardest. SDSU provides a great community to find friends, study groups, or new interests. The advisers are willing to help anyone; even if you do not know what you want to be. SDSU is an ideal school for anyone at any age and any learning level! I love it here and you will too!

    Am enjoying being here

    SDSU has so many clubs, fun nights, and extracurricular activities that no one could say they are bored. Professors push you to be your best but enjoy helping you whenever it is needed. I love the fact that the professors will work with you on your schedule. I needed to end my semester a few days early and all my professors let me take my finals early. It is amazing how much they care! I love it here!

    Bang for the buck

    While other schools are pretty expensive, SDSU offers plenty scholarships, grants, and work, but for the money paid out of pocket is very worth it. You will not find a campus as supportive as SDSU. Like I have said, the professors want to see you succeed and will help with assigning tutors, private lessons, and asking the random questions that come to mind.

    Tips for prospective students

    I recommend go in with a clear mind. College is very different from high school. No more judgmental comments, feeling left out, or the rumors that were spread around. College is more mature and is a blast! Even though there is a lot to do, never forget to read your materials! Once you fall behind, it is very hard to catch up. The professors do not always tell you the homework assignments so keep in mind it is your own responsibility to finish them.

    Great for these types of students

    The students are very open to any possibility and with the professors supportive attitudes, I strongly feel anyone would feel at home here. Even if you have not been to school in decades, this school is still perfect.
