University of South Dakota Top Questions

It has the old-time, small feel on campus.

It is just the right size so you know plenty of people on campus. It is a rural area but close enough to larger areas so you can shop and find recreational activities. it has a very close knit greek community. it is also very diverse in the majors.... there are no really highly emphasized majors

We have a very beutiful campus, it's located in a small town, and everyone is very friendly.

What is unique about my school is that it has a med school tied to it, yet the undergraduate tuition isn't as expensive as other schools, such as Vanderbilt. It has scored well in medicine and is small compared to other colleges I have visited, but this fits me. I really like their biology program and how they do allow you to specialize in pre med so that means they make sure I have the classes I need to enter into med school. Everyone is from SD so that is a bit hard as an outsider.

This school is a lot more liberal and accepting of differences than the other schools that I considered.

The availibility of the faculty for help is hands down the most unique aspect of my school. The teachers are genuinely excited about helping you outside the classroom. If they have free moments to help, they will bend over backwards to help out! I have learned so much more by going to my teachers for help outside of class.

The size of the campus lets one walk to any class within 15 minutes; yet, the campus has a large student body with many facilities to accommodate. Other school were often too large geographically to let you take any class without worrying about getting there are time; some other schools were too small and it felt as if they did not have as much funding for facilities or professional professors.
