Minnesota State University Mankato


Mankato Minnesota is located in the southern part of the state. It has a population of around 36,000 people. It is only 8 hours away from Belle Fourche, so it's not that long of a drive to come home. Mankato has many fun activities for all people to enjoy. There are great parks and trails to hike in the summer. The landscape is very different from South Dakota, there are many lakes to enjoy and forests to hike in. It is a great town to live in with much to offer.

Minnesota State University Mankato has a great campus. It is one of the largest universities in Minnesota with around 15,000 students attending. MSU offers over 100 different majors to choose from, and 16 pre-professional programs. This may seem a little overwhelming, but they break it down into six different academic colleges. These six are, Allied Health and Nursing; Arts and Humanities; Business; Education; Science, Engineering and Technology; and Social and Behavioral Sciences. They also offer over 200 groups and clubs to participate in. In sports they are called the Mavericks. They offer all the main sports for both men and women. This is where I will be going to college in the fall and I highly recommend this college to everyone. It's a great choice!
