Good reviews

This school is relatively cheap compared to other schools around the country. I have many friends that come from all over the United States to study here because of the cheap costs. The facilities are fantastic, and they are always adding new buildings, classrooms and technologies for students to use. The campus police keep everyone safe.

Bison Pride is everywhere in ND, clearly the favorite school. Fargo has so many opportunities no matter the major business, engineering, social work, anything. NDSU dining centers are topnotch and I would compare it to St. Thomas's but honestly better now that they were recently updated. The turf, herd&horns, the OB, Fort Noks, sports bar, etc.
Overall 4.9
This school offers so many opportunities to get involved on campus, make great connections/networking, and so many resources for academics. Their tutor center, ACE, has helped me greatly to pass my classes particularly in Math. They also offer many scholarships, and you DO NOT have to be a 3.5+ student to receive one.

NDSU is an amazing/friendly environment!
Overall 4.8
NDSU is a great place to go to college and get involved. There are tons of clubs, the food is great, and the people are nice. Downtown Fargo is a great place to visit and there is always something to do. I have made countless friends and Im super exited to go back. Trying going greek, its one of the best ways to meet people and get involved!

Bad reviews
Overall 1.3
I have had so many rude and burnt out teachers. Especially in the science department. The anatomy teacher has had so many written complaints sent to the department and she is still teaching. Teachers have no interest in their students. I regret coming to this school.
Overall 1.7
This school is safe because no one wants to go here, so its like a barren waste land. If Bismarck State College and United Tribes Technical College were to have a baby and it got a 4 year degree, you'd have NDSU. Pick a better school if possible. Also the guy to girl ratio sucks (even UND has a better female to male ratio, like for real).

Basically the professors are very full of themselves in every department I have talked to, makes me wish I just went to a different college instead of doing undergrad here.
Overall 2
Worst school ever! Very few professors actually care about their students. The university in itself definitely does not care about its students. I hated it here. Transferring out was the best decision of my life. If you grew up on a farm this is the place for you, if not don't go here. Everyone is super cliquey.
