Samantha - 07/28/2020

Chadron State College is a great college that provides many opportunities for their students. They have a wide option of classes, activities, and entertainment that you can get involved into. I personally enjoy the Justice Studies Department. The professors for the department are very involved and care for he well being of their students. They care more about the students’ progress and understanding of the material than a grade. The overall all academic level of the college is impressive. The students learn many things and not just in their own fields of study. Campus itself is not boring. There is always something going on. If it is not an athletic game, there are plays or other activities to go to. There is something for everyone.

Samantha

Chadron is a great community. I met many people on the first day that I am still friends with. We are a very active campus, we have many games, sports and art gatherings for all students to enjoy. We have a clubs for just about everyone, some including sororities and fraternities, rodeo, video gaming, and many others. I highly recommend Chadron to any one that wants to get a good feel about college- it is a great place to start out and the price is not too bad either. Chadron is a place that really sticks to you. Everyone is here to help you complete your goals. The teachers work with you one-on-one and they know you by name because the class sizes are small. Despite the small class sizes this school is small but with a big feel.

Chadron State College is a great school for those who are willing to work hard and put their selves out there. Chadron has an amazing Geoscience program with a field camp course every summer for two weeks. Field camp provides a hands on opportunity where we, the students, get to learn to take good field notes and to recognize different geological features. Last year we traveled to Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho looking at the geology and traveling back in time to imagine what the earth looked like in the past and how it has changed over time. The campus itself contains a trove of fossilized camels, oreodonts, rabbits, and horses. Class sizes are perfect and allow for one on one time with professors. The professors are very willing to help and enjoy mingling with the students so that the professors become more than just teachers but also great friends who I have a great deal of respect for. I would highly recommend this school. It is not too expensive and has great people who want to help you succeed.

Christina

I love it. There's plenty of friendly people on campus and there's always something going on. No matter what dorm hall you're in, the classes are within reasonable walking distance. The food is great and I highly recommend the Chicken Fried Steak. There's plenty of places to camp, hike, bike, and trail ride in the area.

Chadron State College FAQS

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

    Each person's message to themselves will be distinct based on the missteps and trials that someone has come across in their time, but everyone has wisdom to pass onto a former version of themselves. The trouble and perhaps the beauty in life is that we have one opportunity to pass or fail in every moment. Doc Brown is nowhere to be seen in his DeLorean. Opportunities like this scholarship are the only chance we have to reflect on where was have come and where we can go. With that comes my advice, I would mentor myself on taking every opportunity seriously, making the best decision with the information I have available, planting my foot in the ground, and implementing that decision. As a history teacher in high school, I understand what-if questions from curious students. Life; however, happens fast and never allows you to retrace your steps once they are trod. So, love life, take nothing for granted, and always strive to be the best version of yourself; however, once a decision is made and action taken, do not wish for a re-take because unlike 10th grade biology class. Life does not give retakes.
