I think someone who is looking to gain experience in a specific career field through hands on learning, in depth lectures, and truly passionate teachers should attend this school.

The campus is small enough where you see a lot of the same friendly faces and really get to know some of these people, but it is also big enough and diverse that it allows you to explore and experience new things. This college is great for someone who is looking for oppertunities.

If you know the major you want to do, then the professors and advisors will help you accomplish that goal. If you are unsure of your major, you can use the great on campus resources like the Career Services Center to help find out about different majors and what kind of jobs apply to them after school.

Financial aid is available to those who qualify and many scholarships as well (the school is pretty affordable anyway).

An ideal husky is someone who likes a mix of small town charm and the energy of an urban area, takes both academics and fun seriously, and is open to the possibilities surrounding them.

St. Cloud State is a school for someone who enjoys being social, likes being involved and enjoys a small urban center feel to it. The city itself is pretty well laid out, but there are no giant buildings or excessive traffic, the surrounding town is very homestyle. On campus, there is always something to do, whether it's a cultural night, a concert, a political protest or a hockey game. The Husky Hockey team is ranked top ten in the country, and games are pretty much the life on campus. Professors are intelligent, passionate and helpful.

A person who has strong social skills should attend this school. People in central Minnesota are generally very reserved and difficult to deal with. On a more positive note, people in this area also tend to be highly motivated, professional, and well educated.

Brian

Someone who should attend this school is someone who wants a high quality education from a school that can accomadate traditional and non-traditional students. I am a non-traditional student taking classes online because I live a distance from the campus and I have children at home that require care and the school does offer daycare but it saves on my college expenses being able to do my studies from home.

Samantha

Someone who is looking for a medium sized school. It isn't a large sprawling campus and it isn't a tiny little campus either, its right in the middle. SCSU seems to have a great science and engineering department with lots of undergraduate degrees and pre-professional options.

Katherine

This is definitely a school geared towards education and buisness majors, though other majors will fit just find, and we also have a good art program. Being a state college, it's pretty liberal, so it's not very open minded in that direction, or fun for conservatives or Christians. You will find some great students and teachers in that vein though. It's a good school for people who want a decent education without having too heafty a price tag.

Hank

A person that wants a well rounded education at a small campus with a diverse population.

Max

The optimal person for SCSU is someone who wants a relatively inexpensive education from an accredited school. If one craves a big city atmosphere and a lot of excitement, SCSU is probably not an optimal choice. Many students choose to party and drink their time away, so if one is not that interested in academics, SCSU will be a good fit. However, there are a lot of positive groups of students who are serious about learning in pockets throughout the school, and if one wants to succeed, I suggest finding some of said groups.
