“I like the fact that it’s not more than a 10-minute walk to anywhere on campus. It’s easy to get from building to building because most of them are interconnected, well lit and it’s relatively safe on campus at night.”
“I love how our campus is set up. The close proximity of all of the academic buildings makes for a friendly campus community.”
“I like the fact that most of the classrooms are in one section of campus and the residence halls are close to each other at the other end of campus. It makes it easy to get know people, get involved and build friendships.”
“The college experience is mostly about the people, and MSUM is such a small, tight-night community that you can walk down the sidewalk knowing many people.”

“Fargo-Moorhead kind of reminds me of the Minneapolis suburbs. It’s small and things are close but at the same time it’s not missing anything. There’s always something interesting going on with lots of college students in the area.”
“MSUM is a friendly, small-town atmosphere inside a bigger city. It makes me feel at home, yet there’s a bigger community out there waiting to be explored.”

“When you first step onto a campus you definitely get a feel if it’s comfortable for you. If it’s not comfortable, then it’s not the right place to be. When I visited MSUM, people were friendly, talkative, and very welcoming.”
“I looked at other colleges in Minnesota but when I visited MSUM I knew there was something special about this place. The profs took time to talk to me, show me the department and answer all my questions.”
