Northern State University
Northern State University (NSU) is a great place to be. The small class size and the safe location makes it a perfect environment for studies. Although, Aberdeen SD looks like a small town it has a lot to offer. On-campus housing helps to build great friendships. Although scholarships and job opportunities are limited you can still find something for you. Being a student at NSU also gave me the opportunity to take part in extracurricular activities, for e.g. jazz band and intramurals. Overall NSU was a great experience for me, the only thing I would like to see is more liveliness in the town.

This is a great university to attend. Although it is a great university it is located in Aberdeen South Dakota. And there isn't a whole lot to do in Aberdeen. Although there isn't a lot of things to do, Northern compensate for that by organizing fun activities like glow bowling, Northern's got talent, comedy shows and so many more. I am a sophomore here and I feel like Northern still have so much to offer to me.

You are someone here.
Northern State University is a small community college where everyone knows each other. I am a Sophomore and I planned on studying abroad for just one year. But the great friendships I made here are the reason I am still around. It is great to meet so many people from different countries and cultures. The classrooms are small, it is something I do not always like, but it is perfect for the harder high level classes. You know everyone around campus, and everyone knows you. You are someone here.

How the small community is very useful and great for international students
The university is a great place to be. I am a junior and I dont want to leave already, this place has a small community which allows a great connection to be made with the professors, and other students which then allows the students to better be helped in and outside the classroom with any matter. The size of the university is not comparable to all the great features that are made available to students such as events, equipment, opportunities, and good education. This place has friendly staff, and its very easy to find your place and your goals here.

NSU is a great community filled with the nicest professors, students and facilities. Everyone on campus is invested in making sure you have the best experience in building towards your future but also making sure you have a blast while at college. There isn't much to do in the town of Aberdeen itself, but there is no lack of on campus. There is almost always something to do whether it's a casino night, glow bowling, or skate away, the activities seem endless. You can always find students playing pool in the common areas. If you want some sports action, every weekend offers something exciting from NSU's sports teams. My experience at NSU has been amazing, and I definitely recommend it to anyone on the fence about whether to choose NSU or not.

It is good experience to me.
When I was in Korea, i was so nervous to study and have to think about my future. Most of our countury student must think that it is to hard to find a job. So, we could not just enjoy studying but must study fierce and compete with other student. But, if you come here, you could put the worry for a while and take a rest. Also, you can enjoy many school event different with which in Korea.

The time of my life and building my future at the same time
I always dreamed about going to America. So, how can you fulfill that dream better than going to study in the USA for four months? So, i made the decision and pursued my dream. The NSU campus is green, quite and clean. Buildings are really nice and have a great architecture. Big auditorium, huge gym with all the facilities you may desire. Teachers try to challenge you. Do not expect campus parties or what so ever, since this campus is 100% dry. Also , the nightlife is not that exiting but going with a group of friend to the bar is always fun. I'm having the time of my life. Developing myself , trying new thing of all kinds. If you have doubts; don't. Just do it and fulfill your dream like i did mine.
