St Cloud State University

I met someone on campus today for tutoring purposes and found it to be a beautiful campus. It is well laid out, has greenery galore, and the buildings are kept up (they don’t appear old and rundown). Today I spent my time in three different buildings over about two hours and found each building to contain everything a student would need. The employees working around campus were very nice and helped me find my way around when I needed it. The only complaint I have, is that the campus can become very disorienting and you can become lost very quickly if you don’t know your way around; I feel they should have more campus maps available, so I don’t feel like I’m bothering everyone on campus.

I didn’t think SCSU would have a Unilocal page but here it is. I graduate this May with a master’s degree in criminal justice and can honestly say I’ve never worked this hard in my entire life. I’m also an ASL interpreter and learning sign language was easier than this program has been. Let me preface this by saying that I will also be completing my 12^th year of my college education with 4 degrees under my belt from 4 different schools. The teachers treat you like an adult and put an enormous amount of energy in to make sure you do well. Put it this way, the more you put in, the more they put in. You work hard, they work hard. I’ve loved it here and while I’m excited to graduate, I’ll be sad to go. I do know though that I will keep in touch with my teachers because of the lasting impact they’ve made on my life in such a short time.

Probably some of the best and worst years of my late teens/​early 20’s were spent at SCSU and I wouldn’t change any of it. SCSU wasn’t my first choice of colleges to go but I am definitely glad I went here. The staff are all really knowledgeable in their respective areas of study; many have actual real world experience they share with their students. If you’re looking to meet new people or just find something to fill your free time (when you’re not studying/​doing homework of course…) check out the various student organizations on campus. I was recently in Cloud town to visit a friend and decided to check out the campus since I hadn’t been back in a few years. They’ve done a great job updating the buildings and finally have an enormous parking ramp at the north end of the campus. I can honestly say that going to SCSU was a great experience and provided me with a quality education at a decent price. Go Huskies!
