Hey all...
Is anyone here from SCSU, MN? SCSU is one of the largest universities in the midwest offering about 300 majors in the undergraduate level. Have any of you attended this schoo? Do you know someone who did?
If yes, then what do you think of this school? What are your opinions? If you decided to answer, please also include issues like racism and fair treatment on campus, diversity, social life and so on.
I really think it is a fun topic. Let's hear from you all now. Thanks :)

Hello. My brother attended St. Cloud St. He did the Wisconsin-Minnesota reciprocity thing (do they still have that deal anymore?). He loved it. BUT he said it was extremely cold. We are from Wisconsin so if he said that it must've REALLY been cold. But he said they had a great hockey team and the people on campus were friendly.
