Fargo, ND
North Dakota State University-Main Campus

I love being an NDSU student. The atmosphere of campus is inviting and encouraging. The campus itself is a great size. It is large enough to accommodate a large student body, but it is not to large where students are late to class if they have to walk from one side of campus to the other. The buildings are in good condition, so you always feel comfortable in the classrooms. It is also easy to navigate even for those that are new to the campus. If you do get lost, everyone on campus is very nice and more than willing to help you find your way. Overall, the NDSU campus is a great place.

It's great! Everyone is nice, the professors are awesome, there are many clubs to join, intramural sports, and you will meet some great people who will become your friends forever. I am so glad that I chose to go to NDSU. Best decision I have made so far.

My name is Marisa Furry and I am a current senior in mechanical engineering at NDSU. It is safe to say that I have grown the most academically and as an individual during my time at NDSU. The overall college atmosphere and culture on campus is great, but not the main reason for my pride in being an NDSU Bison. Before starting college, everyone forgot to mention that college would be my most challenging time in finding out who I was and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. After experiencing a handful of the ups and downs that 3 years of college brings, I can finally say I know what I want to do with my life and why that's so important. NDSU has driven me to be passionate about the engineering needs within the medical device industry. Cultivating a desire to continuously learn (even after college) and connect with people on a deeper level will allow me to impact medical patients on a first-hand level. I never wanted to be a stereotypical cubical-dweller engineer that crunches numbers day in and day out. (I mean, who really does?) My time at NDSU has taught me that engineering doesn't have to be ordinary or stereotypical. It can be whatever I want it to be. And for me, my career goal is simple: I want to help people live their best life. The NDSU engineering faculty have allowed me to learn things I'm genuinely curious about. Sure, lectures are still sometimes boring as they will be at every school but opening my eyes to what technological needs are in the world is not going to be found at just any school. I believe in the future of medical devices, I believe in the future of young engineers, and I believe that NDSU has done nothing but equip me and prepare me for positively impacting people in the world. For this reason, I cannot thank North Dakota State University enough for investing in me, allowing me to find my passions, and giving me opportunities to use my knowledge for meaningful work.

Overall, it is a great school with great facilities and lots of things for students to use if they need. When it comes to the dining center, the people who work there work very hard and are sure to help with any needs a student may have and I find a similar will to help at other centers around campus. There may need to be more conversations pertaining race and bias, but overall the people there are friendly and helpful, especially the staff.

I completed my undergraduate degree in biological sciences and I would recommend anybody to study biology at this wonderful university. The biology department is very accommodating to students and offer an array of opportunities to get hands on experience outside of the classroom. The professors are very approachable and want to help you through the rigorous coursework. I have made many connections with professors and graduate students that have really helped me post-graduation in job searching and professional school applications.

I very much enjoy the North Dakota State University Campus. I have visited it twice, and I plan and attending in the fall of 2019. It is a very beautiful campus with endless amenities for students to take advantage of. The housing options are fairly broad an all the dorms are very nice looking. As far as the food, it is superb! There are tons of options to choose from making sure to leave everyone satisfied and smiling.

I think it is a good school for the price. It doesn't have anything super spectacular but it has enough to be enjoyable. I'd say the best thing about campus life is the food, the dining centers have a lot of options to choose from and the hours of operation are nice as well. The biggest thing I dislike about NDSU is the parking. The parking is very scattered and gets expensive after a few weeks. Overall I'd give NDSU a solid 7/10.

North Dakota State University allows every person of race, ethnicity, and gender to a fair education and allows everyone to belong anywhere. They are very focused on academics and always allows help for students. They offer tons of activities and hobbies that helps students make friends while having fun with what they're doing. North Dakota State University allows a home for everyone.

I enjoy the environment of NDSU and feel very welcomed and at home here. I like the opportunities given to me and love all of the extra curricular and sporting events. The academics push me to be my best self and I have found that advisors in the nursing program are extremely helpful and available for students.

This is my fourth year as a student at North Dakota State University. I am a mechanical engineering major graduating in May. I have enjoyed my time here and hope to encourage anyone thinking of attending. First of all I would like to say that NDSU has a very friendly student body and staff members. I have been able to strike up conversations we many people and almost everyone seems willing. I have also been encouraged by the willingness of the faculty to make time for the students outside of class. In my 4 years I have never had an issue with a teacher in terms of bad teaching or unfairness in grading. As a mechanical engineer, I can speak to the proficiency of the engineering program. The courses and outline for this major are challenging but they have done a good job of preparing me for my field. Outside of classes, NDSU has many opportunit.ies for students to get involved. Personally I have been involved in several intramural sports, CRU (campus ministry), and club baseball. The college does and wonderful job of financing these activities and allows students to pursue their passion. The last thing I want to talk about is the athletic programs. NDSU is very competitive in all their sports, especially football. This has created a positive and unifying culture at NDSU. The pride that the student and community take in the athletic teams brings everyone together and is a huge draw for perspective students. Overall, my experience at NDSU has been positive and i would highly recommend the college to anyone who is thinking of attending.
