    Am learning a lot

    The classes are challenging anc the teachers are very helpful. If you're not getting something, they'll work with you until you do.

    Am enjoying being here

    I have met many new friends and there are lots of things to do both on and off campus.

    Bang for the buck

    It's expensive to go here but the school offers many scholorships to help pay for it all.

    In three sentences

    DWU offers many different activities to get people involved on campus such as Friday night movies, weekly chapel, and bringing in performers (i.e., hypnotist). I really enjoy the small community and how people are very friendly. The teachers and classes are just what I wanted- they challenge you and teachers are very helpful.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you visit campus and get out of your comfort zone. Attend the other activities and meet new people. That is the best part of college life.

    Academic Rigor

    They offer challenging courses, and I loved how the teachers are always willing to help you out. They are very quick in emailing you back if you need help.

    Dorm Life

    The dorms are pretty big compared to most other schools in South Dakota. The freshman dorms share showers, but in the other building, they are in pods. They help to meet the suggestions of students currently attending.

    Food and Dining

    There aren't many options at the cafeteria, and if you are picky like me, you end up eating the same thing almost every meal. Mitchell does offer some other options- a couple sports bars, sit down, and most common fast food restaurants.

    What to do for fun

    They have a movie theater, sports games (for both college and the high schools), dances, and many options offered by the Student Activities Board. Mitchell also has the Corn Palace.

    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is high, but the school is private and the classes do challenge you. They also offer many scholarships.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    This year we placed Humans vs. Zombies. That was a cool experience- kind of like tag for Halloween.

    Great for these types of students

    Who are looking for a small, close knit community of students.

    Clubs and Activities

    DWU has most sport teams, and they have a variety of clubs. Just push yourself to get involved in them.

    Campus Safety

    I haven't really had to worry about anything happening on campus. We usually just walk with a buddy at night.
