He cares about every student, but he won't care if you don't care. He is extremely smart and you could learn something if you actually listened.

Had a great first year in his studio.

Dr. Bass helps me a lot. If you study hard, you absolutely can get a good grade.

Terrible teacher. She's SO boring. She mumbles and rambles and never can give a straight forward answer. She doesn't read from the material and says t...

It's a good school considering the price. Don't expect too much. Northern does have a friendly and happy environment though!

Campus is nice enough. The new dorms going up might help but they are pretty expensive. Professors are fantastic, they actually want you to succeed. Only bad thing is the food.

We need more food choices on campus. Your experience here is what you make it. There is a spot for everyone if you look for it. Campus is beautiful in the fall and spring.

Love the smaller school feel. Made a lot of friends and have been successful in all my classes. Would highly recommend!

The campus is small and cozy and the cost for school is very inexpensive. Scholarships and opportunities to help pay for school are also easy to attain. The professors genuinely care and do all they can to help you get a good grade. The cafeteria food is hit and miss, but that's cafeteria food for you .

Cheaper, smaller college. It has it's appeal, but since it's such a small school and a small city, you really have to look in order to find entertainment.

Northern is a great school. I have learned a lot and all of the teachers and people representing the school are always helpful and wanting to do what they can to help with anything. I'm a music ed. major and the expectations for what you need to be doing classes and music-wise are clearly represented. I love it here.

It's the most beautiful campus in SD! Everything is walking distance; YOU CAN WAKE UP TWO MINUTES BEFORE CLASS AND STILL MAKE IT PLACES ON TIME!

Would most definitely recommend it! The teachers, advisors, chair personnel really want to see and help you succeed.

More like high school than college, the town has too many cops, so not a lot of parties to attend, many of the teachers don't actually teach they just pass you based on attendance which is fine for generals and why the school has about a 30% graduation percentage, come here for generals but keep a different school in mind afterwards

bring a kite!

The campus is beautiful, but the teachers are not the best. I feel like I am in high school all over again. I had to transfer out my freshman year because I failed socially because some of the students on campus are so rude and are too high on themselves.

Professors really care! A great choice!
