Uraian Tempat

The university claims one of the most beautiful campuses in the Midwest. Trees shade its 72 acres, and during the spring, summer and fall flowers bloom along walkways that are closed to all but pedestrian traffic. The most historic of its 21 buildings border a park-like center known as The Green. Every point on campus is within easy walking distance of downtown Aberdeen. Northern State University has been preparing teachers for over 100 years and is recognized as a leader in teaching education both at statewide and nationwide levels. Almost one-third of elementary teachers in South Dakota are graduates of Northern State University. The employment outlook for elementary education majors continues to be positive. A decrease in the number of college graduates with teaching degrees and an increase in the population of school age children translates into a need for elementary teachers. Hands-on Science Laboratory – trains elementary science teachers in a hands-on approach Gerber Building – the newly renovated School of Education classroom and office building provides the most modern, up to date facility on campus. DDN Studio Classrooms – provide students with opportunities to teach using current distance education Technologies. Reading Clinic- provide literacy assessment and instruction for K-6 students who read above, at, or below grade level while providing opportunities for pre-service teachers to develop their knowledge and skills as teaches of reading and writing.

Living in the Aberdeen South Dakota will be very exciting for the students. The University strongly encourage the student to live on campus if the student does not have a family. If the student has a family living with the student then they will need to rent an apartment. There are a number of options, but an apartment close to campus is recommended. There are not many public transportation options in Aberdeen; there is a taxi and many students ride bikes or walk when the weather permits. All freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus. We strongly encourage all other international students in the United States for the first time to live on campus also. On-campus housing often is less expensive and more convenient than off-campus options. On campus, the student will have easy access to the library, computer equipment, the student center, sports and recreation facilities, cafeterias, and the student classes. More important, the student will have the greatest possible opportunity to interact with other students. The residence halls at Northern State offer more than just a place to sleep. Emphasis is placed upon supporting students' academic objectives through academic and social activities. For example, the student residence hall may offer quiet areas for study and a computer lab. It also offers recreation areas and rooms for social activities such as watching movies. A typical residence hall room has two individuals living in them. (There are few single rooms.) Rooms do not tohave a kitchen, although common kitchens are available. Each residence hall has free laundry facilities for its residents as well.
