Bemidji State University's tuition speaks for its self: you get what you pay for, and at approximately $6,000 a year that's not a whole lot. I came here expecting college to be a glorious stage of life during which I explored knowledge and engrossed myself in projects and learning. After the first few weeks I realized that I wasn't going to find this *higher education* in the institution going by the very phrase. While the teachers are helpful and friendly, they're certainly not the crme de la crme. There are colleges in which projects are begun and worked on by students and teachers alike. Not so here at Bemidji.

The campus looks great, yet the city is lacking. There is little spirit and little economic activity on campus or in the city. If you would like to spend your nights with a beer and a dozen of your pals, come to Bemidji, but if you appreciate a good education pay a little more and try elsewhere.
