My dear friend Cole attends this prestigious University. He apparently loves the location and town! You see, we come from a small rural area in Illinois. It is very close to the town of Chicago, I don't know if anyone has heard of Chicago, but it is a great location. Lots of Pubs and friendly drunks. I hope you come visit to Chicago soon and I to Brookings, SD. Thank you very much, I appreciate everything you do and say!

I did my undergrad here and just graduated in May. I can say that it was an ok town to go to school in. However, coming from a town with a big university and almost 250,000 people, Brookings was a MAJOR downsize. If you aren't from a small town, you may not enjoy it here. It's also extremely hard for people who want to get a degree and move because others who were born and raised near Brookings, ultimately get "stuck" there and they're interested in people to hire who will be there. The winters were all Awful, on campus housing was AWFUL and options for food/work/entertainment were AWFUL. To enjoy yourself even a little, going to Sioux Falls or even the Twin Cities was needed. My first two years were decent, professors knew their stuff, very flexible with homework and understanding. However, due to the university not compensating certain professors enough for their time and experience, my favorite professors were pushed to find employment at other universities. I was extremely irritated that good professors were not being taken care of. My last two years were a JOKE! Money down the drain for ultimately a "Google studies" degree. The courses were ridiculous and not thought out. I lived in Brown hall because it was the cheapest, but while under construction in my second year, we didn't have a lobby area and had to deal with constant construction on a daily basis. There was no compensation for this, no discount on housing because ours was being renovated, nothing. The meal plans were also a little expensive and the food overpriced. If I could do it over again I probably would've chosen a different university. BOTTOM LINE: If you are NOT here for nursing or ag, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I received my Masters in Economics from South Dakota State University in December 2007, and had an excellent educational experience. SDSU offers a number of different clubs and activities to be involved in and also many opportunities for Internships during school and careers upon graduation.

I am a second year student looking to transfer out after this year is completed. The two stars are achieved for certain aspects such as the faculty- most are from the Midwest and are pretty helpful, some facilities are new, and it's the best university in South Dakota as far as prestige goes. As for the missing three, it is conversely the worst university in South Dakota. Only certain departments get the majority of funding for a college (animal science gets most of the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences), so if you are not in that program, you're going to have a rough time. I start to lose my patience with the school when they build brand new facilities for programs like animal science and agronomy but horticulture has not had anything new since 1971 (When Rollie Fingers was still pitching). This year, they spent thousands moving the multicultural centre from the basement of the union to the upper floor, just to be politically correct; I am yet to meet a Jewish person here or any Hispanics for that matter, so I am unsure of how well that multicultural centre is working. They seem to really only care superficially about different cultures, as everyone from Dr. Dunn, the president, down to the RAs (called "CAs" here to be more PC) and most students from the Upper Midwest can be close-minded and intolerant of even other American cultures. Due to this fact, I identify more with the international students at times than the other American students, which is saying something. Lastly, if you are not used to small towns and cold winters, you are likely to have a bad time here. Brookings is OK for South Dakota and the Upper Midwest, but there are much better college town out there, even Mitchell. Sidewalks are always in disrepair, snow is never shoveled, it is considered a walking campus and town despite being in the tundra essentially, and there is no good way to get out of town if you do not have a car like myself, so that plus students going home every weekend (and it is like a ghost town on three-day weekends) leads to a "being trapped" feeling. Lots of fraud and waste! Reminds me of how the federal government operates sometimes. Despite the lower sticker price, note that it is low for a reason. Perhaps raise tuition a little more, and give the students a little more say, admin has spent a little too much time in academia as the saying goes for their own good. I will be sailing to warmer seas soon enough. Cheers.

A terrible university, don't ever think of coming here, you will hate yourself. This university is like a trap once you enter you will be a hostage, they will tell you come we are affordable, and you think it is nice 4 year, it is NOT you will never graduate less the 7 year speaking of most degrees. Save your money and don't come here they will suck the last piny you have and you will be in a big debt stay a way from this garbage.

It was far far better than my expectations. I completed my Masters in SDSU. I would definitely go there again if I will plan for another degree or so. Very good State University with very nice academic environment.

One of the better looking universities in the area, but recently it's gotten more expensive, the great professors have left or only teach 1-2 classes a year because of finding issues and out of classroom experience is tough. Honestly, I would only go here for an ag-degree. The others (art, comp sci, engineering, math, etc) fall short and nursing is very cutthroat (2 years of classes and you get one B means your not accepted). Engineering professors care, but experience outside the classroom is vital and its tough to get an internship or full time job outside Brookings without a connection. The only place to work is Daktranics but they aren't student friendly I've found year to year, classroom material differs, not covering necessary sections or professors hurry through concepts or examples to finish in time and expect you to fill in the gaps. Graduating in 4 years is tough, even 5 is hard with 16 credit semesters and summer classes. There also aren't enough quiet places to study. The library isn't big enough and don't have power outlets everywhere, voices echo in the dorms, classrooms are locked at night and weekends so you have to call campus police to let you in, coffee shops and the common areas don't have big enough tables to actually study; so good luck. Another thing is the lack of parking and car pooling into campus if you live off, the "required" dining plans the first two years where one meal costs $7-12 but you're only allotted $10 a day, the random closures at the gym, few jobs are available for students but tuition is high enough that you need 20-25 hours a week to afford next semester after government and school loans. Overall, it's decent looking school in the area, but there are some serious issues and I would have looked elsewhere if I knew these problems

The indoor football facility is amazing but never any toilet paper in the men's restroom.

Probably one of the most affordable uni with lots of activities going on in every single day. People herein SD are really cool and helpful. In education perspective it's pretty good though.

The worst university

Lane Speirs

Attending this University is by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. It combines a wonderful Division one education with world class facilitates all with a small town feel that is welcoming and inviting. From the teachers, to the students, the majority of people are about as nice and genuine as they come. Also, it is one of the most affordable colleges in the nation. You can't beat that. Go Big Blue!

Michael Piraino

I would love to go here for my degree. Will give my final rating/review when or if I go here.

For the most part, the teachers genuinely care about your education and it's a small enough campus that you will know most in your year pretty well. Make sure you look into studying abroad! GO JACKS!

As per the education, it's great. I am a graduate student, so i am not on campus, but I have been challenged and pushed farther than I expected at SDSU. I went there looking for a degree, but got a great education in the process.

Didn't really care about residential life whatsoever. Everything looks pretty on the outside of college to get people to donate, but the insides were crap. Didn't have a microwave in our kitchen and had to petition to get one. Soda/snack machines constantly broken and not stocked. CA's were terrible. Bad job at cleaning. We didn't even have a front desk. If I am paying much more for a nicer hall, then I want to get my money's worth. My CA was Abby in Hyde hall and she never did anything with the floor and didn't take care of any problems. Never there. Residential life sucks on campus, at least in Hyde hall.

Jesus, if I could do my entire college career over, I would have stayed FAR AWAY from SDState. This place is a complete HACK. Only a select few departments get any funding, the administration could care less about the students, UPD is abusive, and the faculty are so stressed and overworked that it's amazing anyone still works here! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

ALI SHALI

Worst place in the world, run a way from here that is my advice, this place is like a cemetery, the people are like zombies, the university act like cheap but they will suck you vary well, the parking is the worst ever no parking available for you even if you pay for it, believe it leave it or not. That is the reality , the gym closes for any reason and unexpectedly , this deadly town is the coldest place ever, run a way that is my advice.
