Minnesota State University-Mankato Top Questions

At the time there weren't any online courses and I was commuting almost an hour each way, so that would've been helpful.

The worst thing about Mankato is I don't think there is enough radicalism on campus, but part of that might be because I am not highly engaged in those communities. I have spent some time in the sociologist circles, and I just remember feeling so frustrated at how difficult it is to get other students to care about these prevalent and overwhelmingly important issues. That is the trade off for Mankato students being so busy and engaged in what they are doing-they often don't have time to be "sidetracked" by other important things you are doing.

For those who are reading this, the food offered in the cafeteria can sometimes be undesirable because the lack of variety. However, Minnesota State University-Mankato provides opportunities for critiquing which students are able to address their personal issues about certain types of food being severed or the conditions that the food are in. Every other week, MSU-Mankato’s food marketer asks students their opinions on the food being served and how they can improve in order to meet and accommodate students’ needs/desires. In following, the cafeteria’s food became less repetitive and more enjoyable for us students.

The worst thing about Minnesota State University is that it is hard to find professors that care about where their students are going. Often times, I walk into a lecture hall and even a classroom where the professor will speak for an hour or two and leave immediatly after the lecture. He/she is not interested inhow the students are coping in their class or how they can personally help students.

Communication among staff members. Whenever you needed something done ore help with something such as a billing error, or changing the address on your profile, it was difficult to find the right person. When I called, I was transfered all over the place, sometimes back to teh original person. When I came in person, I was again sent walking all over campus.

I would consider the worse thing about my school to be the fact that a lot of the students ideas of a good time is getting smashed after class. As someone who has never drank in her life, I find it hard to relate to them.

Most the parking lots are very far away from the school and since it is located in Minnesota it is a very cold walk and can be very difficult to walk through the snow and slushy sidewalks. Now of course you can get a closer parking lot but in the economic times it is very hard to afford a parking pass along with all the other costs of everyday living.

The worst thing about this school I guess would have to be that there is a lot of drinking off campus sometimes. The campus is a dry campus but it doesn't stop a lot of people from drinking. I get that drinking is a good time and you can meet many people going out. Around here though it seems a little excessive though sometimes. Over the last few years I have attended this college there have been at least three people that have died in drinking related accidents.

Having to walk to class in snow and below zero temperatures.
