Overall 1.3
I have two undergraduate degrees and three graduate degrees...four of them came from good colleges...the other from USD. Absolutely worthless University President...more interested in buildings and grounds than students. Mediocre faculty, with a few great ones. Is nowhere on the scale of research universities...fitting for a place that is nowhere.
Overall 1.5
Worse campus I have been on.
Overall 1.6
They call it a suit-case college. Everyone goes home on the weekends. Small boring town. Just not a good place to end up for four years. Won't be sticking around that long. I can barely get through being here for 1.
Overall 1.8
Verm is a very pretty town, other than living in the middle of nowhere and having no wifi... The school is great!
Overall 1.9
The town is small, and pretty boring. People like to stick to who they know. The school is very cliquey which is annoying cause it feels a little like high school rather than college. There aren't many options for food, it's not bad, but really limited and not very many healthy options.
Overall 1.9
It's a pretty good bang for your buck, but you are less likely to get into competitive starting jobs or grad programs if you have any desire to leave the state. Professors generally know their students fairly well, which can be great for networking. Vermillion is a small, boring town for young people. There's not a lot to do on weekends.
