What Students Are Saying

Apply early and utilize your admissions counselor to the fullest. They're extremely helpful and can connect you with a wide range of individuals actively eager to help you in your college search and accomplishing all that needs to be done to prepare for college.

Laura from Gretna, NE

Visit! Stay overnight! Visits are great and campus tours are helpful, but staying overnight in a dorm gives you a real feel for what college life is like. Talk to students. Ask lots of questions. The admissions office can help with most questions, but current students can give answers from their own perspective.

Meghan from Yankton, SD

Go to a college where you feel comfortable. It doesn't matter if the people are crazy there, what matters most is: do you feel comfortable here to be yourself!
