North Dakota State University-Main Campus Top Questions

Just how cold it is and how much money it is really going cost for all of my education at this college. I also wish I would have know about the poor food service facilities that they have here.

I wish I would have known how much I would enjoy college and college life at NDSU, because then my decision to attend NDSU would have been a lot easier and less stressful.

Something I wish I would have known before I came to this school is more about the campus. I didn't get a tour of the campus so I had friends that I knew give me a tour of the campus. They offer campus tours to incoming freshman and also transfer students but I thought that I would be fine finding places on my own. I didn't realize how spread out this campus really is until I started school.

I wish I would have known more people that went to this school.

Our school is part of a Tri-College but I didn't know what exactly that meant. I wish I had known more of my foreign language options and what type of minors were available.

Students and professors really do care about how you're doing. They are always willing to help.

How early to turn in the housing assignments, since the dorms and other living facilities on campus fill up extremely fast compared to some schools.

The biggest surprise was probably how windy it can get up here in the winter. I can handle cold well enough, but the wind coupled with it can get brutal if you're not properly clothed for it. In terms of the school, there isn't much I would have liked to know ahead of time. The freshman dorms could get loud at times, especially when it seemed a good time to go to sleep, but I'm glad I stayed there to meet people.

I wish i would have known that there would be police cars lurking around every corner.

Before I came to this school I wish I would have known more about the extra-curriculars and organizations offered. If I would have known more I would have been more eager to get involved sooner. Instead I only joined organizations within my major, but later in my freshman year I became more involved in other organizations and activities.
