Absolutely fantastic online student support system.
Lots of options for online degrees.
Very affordable.
Tips for prospective students
Keep in touch with your student adviser - they really try to go above and beyond to help!
Take advantage of student resources!
Academic Rigor
The classes were of the proper academic difficulty. For the online classes, be prepared to do every bit as much work as you would in a typical classroom.
Dorm Life
Honestly I have no clue if they have a dorm as I was an online student, but I believe that if the put the work into dorm life that they do into other student services it's probably an A+ arrangement.
Food and Dining
Again, no real clue because I was online only. But they do have culinary arts at their campuses and I'm guessing that like most others they take advantage of the opportunity to teach these students the fine arts of food prep, presentation, and service.
Bang for the buck
The price for online classes is a great value. You get a solid education, many opportunities for growth and development, and the staff are (mostly) 100% dedicated to making sure you get what you need when you need it.
Great for these types of students
Online - I would recommend MSCTC for anyone in the States looking to get a solid online education with a valid degree or diploma.

MState is a nationally ranked two year college. It's friendly staff and faculty are there to help every step of the way. Small class sizes and teachers who are dedicated to teaching as their first goal equals great academic success!
Tips for prospective students
Be prepared! Get in contact with MState and find out as much information from the beginning by contacting the Information Desk at 218-736-1533. In addition, all of MState's information is on the web at www.minnesota.edu
Academic Rigor
Teachers are drawn to this college to teach. Small class allows teachers to get to know students and their academic track record, which allows teachers to motivate students the way students best adhere to.
Dorm Life
MState Fergus Falls in unique as a technical college, it does offer college housing. The housing at this campus is arranged apartment style with three bedrooms- two private and one shared, along with two bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen. All rooms are fully furnished with large furnishings, including kitchen table, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, living room chairs, beds, dressers and a desk.
Food and Dining
MState Fergus Falls has the food and dining options that fit you! There are two meal plan options, a six meal and ten meal plan package offered to all students. The food is great and is available to students anytime between 8am-7pm.
What to do for fun
Every Thurday night at the Fergus Falls campus there is a College Night. Fun activities are provided for students such as free movie night, Rock 'N' Bowl, Dodge-Ball Tournaments, concerts and much more! If there isn't a Spartan sporting event going on, there probably is a play, musical, art show or concert.
Bang for the buck
MState is an affordable option for all! With 2011-2012 tuition rates being $160 per credit and online courses at $199. There are so many opportunities that larger schools cannot offer. A student at MState gets a high quality education for a reasonable price.
Great for these types of students
MState is great for all students! With four campuses and eCampus there is something for everyone. MState students who know what they want to do for a carrer can jump into a vocational or technical program. Or for the student who doesn't know quite yet, the AA transfer degree is perfect. With this flexible two year degree students can find the path that is right for them without spending an arm and a leg.
Clubs and Activities
There are numerous clubs and activities on campus that students can get involved with. For a list of clubs and activities go to http://www.minnesota.edu/?id=372 to find out more. To highlight a couple, MState offers: Student Senate, College Ambassadors, C.A.C.T.U.S., Circle K and many more!
Greek Life
