if you read this and still choose to go to this school for the automotive program you are an idiot or you could actually have a plan regarding cars eitherway. My cousin realized he didnt have to go to school to fix cars but at that point he was in his last semester. My cousin went to this school out of 60 students only 12 graduated that is a 20% graduation rate students are to buy their own tools which he wasnt told until he started then they are baited into spend thousands on tools they cannot afford these teachers are used to teaching farmer kids who worked on cars theyre whole life so if you come with zero experience god forbid you ask a question you will get trashed on too much. Theres also a specific teacher with a God complex and they use it to purposely weed out the students. Lastly there are representatives from each dealership that support the automotive class meaning that the teachers cater to the dealerships. If you know anything about the automotive dealership it is the most exploitative environment known to man. Because of this the Mstate Automotive curriculmn has been curated with the idea that the dealership will give you the rest of your education meaning they HALF ASS teach these guys. You are not getting a complete education but it IS 10k for 2 years last I checked. the School Overall is ok DONT DO AUTOMOTIVE, 10k for 2 years, you get what you expect shout out to Tyler Strand and Jon at the front desk they took...
   Read moreHaving gone for 4 semesters now, I'd rate it pretty well. For context, my grades in high-school were really bad due to covid and lack of effort on my part, so Mstate was the only local college to accept me, and served as a clean slate to do better. Being a biology major, I was concerned that I wouldn't have many good classes, but there was quite a good variety of biology related courses that I enjoyed. Most of the teachers are pretty chill and willing to work with you about making up/missing assignments, special shoutout to Mr. Grubb for that and having engaging classes. Also tuition is comparatively quite cheap, and nearly free with the North Star Promise. Depending on your point of view this could a positive or negative thing, but things are rather small.. Most classes don't exceed more than 20 people, clubs are small, school events are small, etc.. generally I prefer the intimacy that brings but there are sometimes I'm envious of the things the larger colleges and universities give you access to. For negatives, the food isn't very good and overpriced, I only go the Cafe when they have deals. Some of the classes are quite tough and you will hate having to go to class, but as I understand it that's more of a general college thing and not a problem specific to Mstate. It's not perfect by any means, but overall I'd...
   Read moreI would rate 0 stars if I could. They expect everything to be run off their website, which is horribly laid out and devoid of information. They said I wouldn’t be able to register for classes because I didn’t pay their fees to apply, which I did, and they somehkw lost my high school transcript. I had to send them proof with screenshots on my computer.
They also accepted me into the major program I wanted, only to tell me I’m not accepted because the class is full, despite that I register for the classes in this major the very next day.
And,, just like every other Minnesota school, they love to give full ride scholarships to foreigners, just because they have brown skin, to promote “diversity”; whatever that means. So much for helping out the local community first. Affirmative actuon...
