It is located in the town of Spearfish, which has a population of just under 10,000 people. Spearfish is a wonderful town with a lot of fun stuff to do. Spearfish Canyon has trails to hike, rocks to climb, and waterfalls to admire.
If you plan on living on campus, the tuition for one year at BHSU is 13,973 for South Dakota residents, and 15,801 for non residents.

BHSU offers a wide range of options, with a total of seventeen pre-professional programs which include, agriculture, law, medicine, mortuary science, renewable natural resource management, and respiatory theraphy. About 5,000 students attend Black Hills State University every year. Their mascot is the Yellow Jacket, and they offer all the major sports that you are interested in. There are also over 77 clubs and organizations to get involved in. BHSU is a great college, with many opportunites, it's deffinatly worth a visit!

If I didn't have bigger plans to go elsewhere in the U.S., I would most definitely go to a college in South Dakota that was much closer to my family. This would be the perfect college for that.
It's also a good college for teaching and history related majors, and for people who are only going to college to waste their parents money or to party.
Ever since I worked at BH this summer I can't stand it. SDSU is the place for me.
BHSU is nice due to a fifteen minute drive between Spearfish and Belle, if people want to live at home.
I am actually considering on going to BH for college! Great blog. (:
this looks like it could be a good choice. it is close to home so them you wont spend alot of money in room and board
Well this sounds like a good college to go to. I think I have a different college in mind though. ;)
Definitly a good teaching school!! I plan on going away from home though!
BH is a teaching school for sure around here. but i would think that it is to close to home.
i wouldnt mind going to BH for college, i want to stay close to home!:)
It's just a little too close to Belle for me!
I think there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages to staying close to home. It's important to know yourself.
