Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Squirrel is the unofficial mascot of VCSU. You can see them everywhere.
Bang for the buck I love it at VCSU! The tuition is reasonable and the education you receive is amazing. Not to mention the friendships you will make.
What to do for fun Campus provides different activities such as glow in the dark volleyball, scavenger hunts, open gym, movie nights, and many more. Movie nights and comedians are my personal favorites.
Food and Dining The cafeteria food is great! They serve a wide variety of foods and always have something you will like. From burgers to salad bar to pizza. Also the staff is so nice and friendly.
Dorm Life The RAs are awesome. They are so helpful and understanding. The dorm rooms are small, but cozy. Also the dorms are close to the main buildings, so you don't even have to walk that far to get to class.
Academic Rigor VCSU provides an amazing variety of classes. I feel challenged in my higher level classes, but the professors are always willing to help if I'm completely lost. You have to work for your grades, but there will always be that one easy class you can fly by in. There is also a great on campus tutoring center if you ever need help.
Tips for prospective students Get to know your professors. They are your best resources for passing and excelling in your classes. Also attend as many classes as possible. This will help so you won't get behind or lost in the class, especially when it comes time for tests or finals.
In three sentences Valley City State University (VCSU) is like home for me. The campus is great and so welcoming, and the faculty work in every way possible to help you succeed. I have no regrets for choosing VCSU for my college career.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus has one security guard on duty but no police enforcement on campus. The campus is pretty safe and there haven't been a crime yet at the moment.
Greek Life They have one Greek life group. They have a sorority on campus.
Clubs and Activities Here are some activities: 1. Campus Cru 2. Newman Club 3. Human Resources Club 4. DECA 5. VCSU Student Senate
Great for these types of students Here are some types of students who most likely wants to attend this college: 1. Students who are planning to major in elementary education 2. Biology 3. Software Engineering 4. Business Administration
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Well, one unusual location is the Bubble or the gym area for sports is located almost a kilometer away from the college campus. They have another gyjm/sports area on campus in an old building. It is use for volleyball. The bubble is use for basketball and practices.
Bang for the buck This college is small, but the academics here are really good! The cost for this college is really cheap. It is a good ROI if you get your degree here.
What to do for fun Well, I like to watch movies and TV shows in my dorm. I like to hangout with a group of friends and attend school activities and clubs.
Food and Dining Since VCSU goes through Sodexo for their food provider, their food selections are amazing most of the time. My favorite courses for dinner and lunch are the stir fries. They have healthy food during the weekdays. However, during the weekends, they only serve mostly French fries and cheeseburgers. They should have more choices during the weekends.
Dorm Life The dorm life is really amazing too! People are really nice and will intermingle with others without judging them. They have 1 dorm hall that was renovated. The dorm life is pretty awesome!
Academic Rigor The academic side of it varies by professors and curriculums. It is a fast paste academics settings. The professors expects you to do your work and to study before tests. The assignments hardness varies from teacher to teacher.
Tips for prospective students 1. Go to classes on time 2. Study and work on your assignments every day instead of working on them at the last minute before they are due. 3. Meet people if you can in order to take risks and improve your overall life. 4. Make sure to join clubs and activities to increase chances of meeting new people and to become more rounded.
In three sentences Valley City State University is a great university to go through if you are looking to become a teacher. This college is small and the people are phenomenal. The teachers to students ratio is really good. You get your questions answered and you get to know your professors on a personal level. There are many clubs and activities that you can join. Overall, the academics and people are awesome! You will love it! The college is really cheap as well!

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities Health emails are sent regularly to all students, there are contests and projects for extra curricular activity.
Great for these types of students Musical or technologically gifted students should check this out.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They have an excellen online program that I have used and will continue to use for several of my classes. (I am a fully online student.)
Bang for the buck It's pretty expensive, but it's to prepare you for walking right through graduate school.
What to do for fun Video and composition projects.
Academic Rigor I had a chance to switch one of my classes here to a different school, and I declined. I can think of no better place to prepare me for the business world.
Tips for prospective students The online program is amazing! Whether you are a face-to-face student, or online, it is best if you communicate with people.
In three sentences Students are encouraged to be diligent. The teachers are sensitive to cultural differences, know their subjects well, and communicate effectively. Each class teaches valuable life skills related to the subject of study.
