    Food and Dining

    The food, I believe is cheaper, compared to bigger university's selections. And instead of a food plan like a bigger college, they do a card service or regular cash, the card is 20 dollars, but you get 25 dollars to purchase food from the cafeteria.
    Dorm Life

    This is a small college, so there is no dorms, however since it's a town, it's not that far away either.
    Academic Rigor

    Like I said, the advisors will take their time with you as well as work out the next course of action for a student to quickly receive an A.A. or A.S. some courses are tough, depending on the circumstance, such as the teacher, personal comprehension, etc.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be afraid to ask questions, apply for scholarships, since they don't do loans at this college, and finally to do the required courses needed for transfer.
    In three sentences

    I find this college to be very helpful. The advisors will make time for you to help you decide where you wish to go as well as focus on all the requirements that a student needs to complete for an A.A. and A.S. More so, this college is a great college to start with.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you aren't from the local area and aren't on a sports scholarship TMCC doesn't have dorms. You will have to find your own means of housing and transporation.

    Considering the fact that my school is a tribal college, I would rate it on a scale from 1- 10 (10 being the best) an 8. It's one of the best tribal colleges in ND. I would highly recommend TMCC.
