Dakota State University Top Questions

Despite how small it is, the campus and it's staff are very involved in student life and activities. I participated in over a dozen activities in High School and so didn't expect much going into my first college year. What I didn't realize is that there are still a ton of things for students to get involved with, even students who have never participated in an organized activity before, and plenty of ways to get help with classwork if needed.

I attend college online and I encourage this if you are a busy working mother and wife like myself to give it a try. I have earned an AA and BS while working full time and caring for my two daughters and husband who also attended online college and he recieved his MBA. If i had to do it all over I would have gone to college after highschool but sometimes life just happens and online helps for those of us good people who are trying to better ourselves.

I wish I had known how easy it was going to be to make friends and feel a part of the school so I would not have worried so much during high school.

I wish I would have known about the dining services more and that there is a two year rule of residing on campus until junior status is achieved.

I wish I would have known the teachers and professors on a better level. It would have been nice to know what they were like before just jumping into one of their classes. Over all though I really enjoy it here at Dakota State University and I would not change the school I am in for anything.

Where to log in for my online courses.

I wish I had known how to manage my time. When I got to college I was a little overwhelmed with volleyball and school. I didn't know if I could make it , but with the help of study tables and just getting the groove of things it has been much better.

Before attending DSU I wish I had really known what I wanted to go into. The school has a lot to offer, but going into it not knowing or having an idea of what I wanted to do was not the smartest thing.

That there isn't a lot going on during the weekends, so if you don't go home, you should think about getting friends together for movie nights, etc.

I wish I would have known how easy it was to finish my pre-requisites online and finish my degree, while still being able to enjoy living in the Black Hills and having time for my children. I was ready to give up on school so I wouldn't have to miss the big steps in my childrens' lives when I ran across DSU's program. They have changed everything for me and now I am a year away from graduating and have enjoyed everything in my childrens' busy lives as well!
