I am a transfer student from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and I have to say that SDSM&T is a huge step up from my previous institution. I prefer the smaller campus and more specialized fields. The Greek community thrives, but doesn't over power other communities. There are plenty of things to do both on and off campus, but you do have to search sometimes. Rapid City is about half the size of my hometown, but there is still a lot to do. Movie theaters, shopping malls, a few lakes, the beautiful Black Hills, and plenty of places to eat. The bus system is lacking though, so if you plan on driving yourself around then this school would work well for you.
Classes are personal, and competitive but not too overwhelming and nearly every professor I have knows my name and where I'm from, what I'm studying etc. You aren't just a number here at mines.
Education Quality: A, Social Life: C

Unless you know you want to be an engineer, look for a college or university that will broaden your horizons and give choices. I graduated long ago from SDSM&T and have always regretted receiving such a narrow education. Maybe it has changed since 1976, but my children are now looking for colleges and my alma mater won't be on the list. Yes, I got a good job and have been financially successful. Life is too short for doing something you don't love.

There seems to be far more hoops jumping than actual learning. For example, increased homework and group assignments over breaks. Or short projects that require 40+ hours. Oh, Two words Dr. Boyles. Reason enough to hate an entire Department.
