I think is a great culturally involved college. They have staff that is very understanding and considerate about the community and events that happen here. I like that my classes are flexible around my work schedule so I am able to work full-time and go to school full-time.

It’s a great school. Everyone is always so well respected, that goes for the administration team, the students, and the professors. It’s like one huge family, I love it. I’m always having a good day at school. Lunch is served everyday for free and is always amazing; I leave full everytime WITH leftovers!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    well first of all I would inform myself of the tests you have to take before you can begin your actual college classes because once you fail those tests you will be taking your basic classes and reliving high school all over again. Some other advice id have for myself would be for how expensive the college books are. It is a way more responsiability than high school because the teachers only give you so many days you can miss or they will drop you out of the class themselves even you would have to tell them the days you will be gone because they will count it against you, you have to make sure you have the right utilities because if you don't you will feel lost and won't know what to do.

  4. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school is unique to me because it was close to home and i get a government grant for my financial aid since I am an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. The grant pays for my tuition and fees but that's it. I like this university because its an accredited college and i get to be around family and friends and that's important to me.

More and more people come back each year to go to school with us and right now there a lot of non indians taking the lakota language course.
