Very good school and very cold place too. Nothing much to do during winter.

Terrific land grant university! They care as much about the community as they do about their students, faculty and staff.

The indoor football facility is amazing but never any toilet paper in the mens restroom.

The best University to study at.

Extremely odd layout for lots compared to all other land-grant universities I’ve had the opportunity to visit. Parking lots are all across main public roads, which is inconvenient.Professors are decent, with a major inconvenience of not being allowed to write their own material for classes (especially the mathematics departments, they are all forced to use the same program and note guides for everything). This is paired with the university not wanting to have multiple exams, so they lump mathematics exams all together for a subject into the wee hours of the morning, before all other classes. Obviously this has a negative result on performance for all the classes, but they saved money not changing the numbers 5 times!Also, be warned that the advisors are not there to help you, but seemingly to lock you into paying for classes regardless of whether you want them or not. There are holds for the next semester that are automatically placed on your account after the withdraw with refund date for a semester has passed, so that if you want to drop a class later on, you need to get the hold removed (even though it’s for a later semester).I have yet to hear of an advisor that will do this without trying to insist that you meet with them during office hours, even if you clearly state that you know what you’re doing and you just need the hold removed.Just for comparison, the community college I earned my AA degree at had advisors that were available to assist you, but they did not place advising holds on your account, and you could add/drop classes on your own. The professors also got to write their own note guides and exams, which was highly beneficial to learning, largely because that meant you got to take exams during normal class times, and not 6:30 in the morning.The Brookings area also has a disappointing lack of attractions to keep you busy, the city owns the only liquor store, and the cost of living here is fairly high.All in all, if what you’re majoring in is only available here, then suffer through it, be aware of these traps that exist, and get out the other side. If it’s available somewhere else, take your money and your sanity there instead.

Such a great university. Im on my third degree here, and I wouldnt trade my experience here for anywhere else. Division 1 opportunities with a small campus feel. You just cant beat the people here.

Beautiful university with so much diversity. From clubs to sports to majors, this place is an amazing experience to begin your journey into adulthood.

This is a great campus to visit when your in Brookings SD. The campanile is fun for climbing, then head to the Dairy Bar for SDSU ice cream. Dont forget the Art Museum for Oscar Howe & Harvey Dunn art and the South Dakota Ag Museum for lots of learning and experiences.

The facilities are old and falling apart, the plumbing has not been kept up to code. The staff are rude and fake. This is not a university its a communist indoctrination center.

My sister went to college there great school go jack rabbit

Very impressive school 👍

This place is fantastic! Go Jacks!🐰💪

I mean Im here so😄! Used to be alright and now its getting better #GoJacks

Attending this University is by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. It combines a wonderful Division one education with world class facilitates all with a small town feel that is welcoming and inviting. From the teachers, to the students, the majority of people are about as nice and genuine as they come. Also, it is one of the most affordable colleges in the nation. You cant beat that. Go Big Blue!

Home sweet school

Quiet accomodating place to study. Wish they had handicap only bathrooms and more books on accounting and investing. Not enough power outlets. 1 in 4 work stations has a power outlet and no usb charging.

It was far far better than my expectations. I completed my Masters in SDSU. I would definitely go there again if I will plan for another degree or so. Very good State University with very nice academic environment.

Great campus. Most places are within walking distance

As per the education, its great. I am a graduate student, so i am not on campus, but I have been challenged and pushed farther than I expected at SDSU. I went there looking for a degree, but got a great education in the process.

Girls beat Gonzaga on last second three pointer in overtime

A terrible university, dont ever think of coming here, you will hate yourself. This university is like a trap once you enter you will be a hostage, they will tell you come we are affordable, and you think it is nice 4 year, it is NOT you will never graduate less the 7 year speaking of most degrees. Save your money and dont come here they will suck the last piny you have and you will be in a big debt stay a way from this garbage.

My dear friend Cole attends this prestigious University. He apparently loves the location and town! You see, we come from a small rural area in Illinois. It is very close to the town of Chicago, I dont know if anyone has heard of Chicago, but it is a great location. Lots of Pubs and friendly drunks. I hope you come visit to Chicago soon and I to Brookings, SD. Thank you very much, I appreciate everything you do and say!

Ggffff government routinely emblem employment quilliam] łl yankelovich

Probably one of the most affordable uni with lots of activities going on in every single day. People herein SD are really cool and helpful. In education perspective its pretty good though.

Love SDSU

Jesus, if I could do my entire college career over, I would have stayed FAR AWAY from SDState. This place is a complete HACK. Only a select few departments get any funding, the administration could care less about the students, UPD is abusive, and the faculty are so stressed and overworked that its amazing anyone still works here!AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

Its my alma mater, the place and people who helped me become who I am, and now my sons school, too. This is the birthplace of promising futures.

Good place to work for me anyways

Best group fitness classes!

Greatest University ever! Go Jacks!

Didnt really care about residential life whatsoever. Everything looks pretty on the outside of college to get people to donate, but the insides were crap. Didnt have a microwave in our kitchen and had to petition to get one. Soda/snack machines constantly broken and not stocked. CAs were terrible. Bad job at cleaning. We didnt even have a front desk. If I am paying much more for a nicer hall, then I want to get my moneys worth. My CA was Abby in Hyde hall and she never did anything with the floor and didnt take care of any problems. Never there. Residential life sucks on campus, at least in Hyde hall.

Best place for college in this area

Its a good university. I liked it. Theres a Chickfila, so thats a plus. Weather sucks.

Will be there once again for South Dakota State FFA Convention, I hope that this years trip will be better than last years.

I received my Masters in Economics from South Dakota State University in December 2007, and had an excellent educational experience. SDSU offers a number of different clubs and activities to be involved in and also many opportunities for Internships during school and careers upon graduation.

I would love to go here for my degree. Will give my final rating/review when or if I go here.

I did my undergrad here and just graduated in May. I can say that it was an ok town to go to school in. However, coming from a town with a big university and almost 250,000 people, Brookings was a MAJOR downsize. If you arent from a small town, you may not enjoy it here. Its also extremely hard for people who want to get a degree and move because others who were born and raised near Brookings, ultimately get stuck there and theyre interested in people to hire who will be there. The winters were all Awful, on campus housing was AWFUL and options for food/work/entertainment were AWFUL. To enjoy yourself even a little, going to Sioux Falls or even the Twin Cities was needed.My first two years were decent, professors knew their stuff, very flexible with homework and understanding. However, due to the university not compensating certain professors enough for their time and experience, my favorite professors were pushed to find employment at other universities. I was extremely irritated that good professors were not being taken care of. My last two years were a JOKE! Money down the drain for ultimately a Google studies degree. The courses were ridiculous and not thought out.I lived in Brown hall because it was the cheapest, but while under construction in my second year, we didnt have a lobby area and had to deal with constant construction on a daily basis. There was no compensation for this, no discount on housing because ours was being renovated, nothing. The meal plans were also a little expensive and the food overpriced. If I could do it over again I probably wouldve chosen a different university.BOTTOM LINE: If you are NOT here for nursing or ag, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Beautiful campus!

Got my degree from here! Worth the time and effort.

Nice place to go to school for.

It was awesome with local it tells you where the location you want to find out

One of the better looking universities in the area, but recently its gotten more expensive, the great professors have left or only teach 1-2 classes a year because of finding issues and out of classroom experience is tough.Honestly, I would only go here for an ag-degree. The others (art, comp sci, engineering, math, etc) fall short and nursing is very cutthroat (2 years of classes and you get one B means your not accepted). Engineering professors care, but experience outside the classroom is vital and its tough to get an internship or full time job outside Brookings without a connection. The only place to work is Daktranics but they arent student friendlyIve found year to year, classroom material differs, not covering necessary sections or professors hurry through concepts or examples to finish in time and expect you to fill in the gaps.Graduating in 4 years is tough, even 5 is hard with 16 credit semesters and summer classes. There also arent enough quiet places to study. The library isnt big enough and dont have power outlets everywhere, voices echo in the dorms, classrooms are locked at night and weekends so you have to call campus police to let you in, coffee shops and the common areas dont have big enough tables to actually study; so good luck. Another thing is the lack of parking and car pooling into campus if you live off, the required dining plans the first two years where one meal costs $7-12 but youre only allotted $10 a day, the random closures at the gym, few jobs are available for students but tuition is high enough that you need 20-25 hours a week to afford next semester after government and school loans.Overall, its decent looking school in the area, but there are some serious issues and I would have looked elsewhere if I knew these problems

Beautiful campus

Awsome uni i want to compelte my bachour there

Its better than USD thats for sure...

Beautiful Campus, Exceptional Staff, and Delicious Food! South Dakota State University 5/5

The people at phone cant give answers connect you with any other at and end not wan can help o give answer o call later wherever everyone else get important to do but waste time

Worst place in the world, run a way from here that is my advice, this place is like a cemetery, the people are like zombies, the university act like cheap but they will suck you vary well, the parking is the worst ever no parking available for you even if you pay for it, believe it leave it or not. That is the reality , the gym closes for any reason and unexpectedly , this deadly town is the coldest place ever, run a way that is my advice.

I wish i went to Minnesota state university at Mankato instead of here.

Amazing!

I just love it...

Best university for degree ever

So much fun!

I get the feeling that the staff thinks they are working at an Ivy League school. Has everyone forgotten that this is bum f### nowhere?
