Vermilion Campus - Minnesota North College — Local services in Ely

The school is great I would give it 5 stars. The on campus housing I would give zero stars. Just don't live on campus, there is a lot of crime in the housing. My first year here was great I didn't have a problem. This year is my second year and I have had bad luck with my whole roommate situation. I have had my stuff get stolen on two separate occasions. The first time my mini fridge and a poster got stolen I went to the housing directors and they said to me.

"I don't know what you want me to do about it it's not like I can go check every ones dorm."

They do have the authority to go and do that, because they did it early this year when one of the R.A.'s got some of his stuff stolen. Also they didn't want me to fill out a report about it because they have to send all of the crime reports to the state and it all goes up online. They will try to discourage people from filling out the reports and will not even tell you about it unless you ask to fill one out. My mini fridge eventually showed up, because I was asking every one about it and my guess is who ever took it got scared and ditched it. The second time stuff was stolen from me I had a whole cupboard of food stolen and the housing director won't do anything. Depending on your roommate situation you can have a great time or a terrible time, If I would have known I was going to have such bad roommates and the housing directors wouldn't do anything I would have lived off campus. Last year I didn't want the school year to end, and now I can't wait to leave and go home. So if you come to VCC I would highly suggest living off campus because this is a great school, it's just the housing situation isn't the greatest. It is also cheaper to live off campus then it is to live on campus. This is still a great school to come to great classes and teachers will help you out if you need it. Don't decide to not come because of what I wrote about because this is the best school I...

We played this course a couple of times, fun and challenging! A map at the beginning of the course would be helpful, but we managed to find our way around. We had heard that the 5th hole was unachievable....a par our first time and my son Birdied the...
