06. Student Body

What students say:

鈥淭he typical student at Augie is white, of Scandinavian descent, from the Midwest, hardworking, religious, financially responsible for some portion of their schooling, and very nice.鈥 She is 鈥渃oncerned about academics.鈥 Not surprisingly, given the school鈥檚 affiliation, the predominant religious bent is Lutheran. Despite their very similar backgrounds, students 鈥渁re surprisingly different in opinions,鈥 which can make for colorful conversation, as students are also 鈥渧ery concerned about issues.鈥 Though 鈥淎ugustana is not diverse, which is one of its weaknesses,鈥 it does have 鈥渁 decent amount of atypical students. They fit in very well.鈥 One student majoring in nursing writes, 鈥淚 know one mother [who] is in her 30s [who] plays in the brass band. Another mom is in one of my classes, came from Lithuania, and she is embraced and challenged like any other student in that class. As a traditional student, I find it refreshing to find age variances in the classrooms. It gives an extra, unique perspective on the issues at hand.鈥

08. Campus Life

What students say:

Student life here is reportedly very well balanced: 鈥渄uring the week it is all business, but the weekend is a time to let loose, relax, and have fun.鈥 Typically 鈥渟tudents party on weekends,鈥 but the school鈥檚 鈥渟ports teams [also] have a tremendous amount of support from the student body, faculty, alumni, and also the residents of Sioux Falls.鈥 Students also take advantage of events like 鈥溾榗offee house鈥 concerts, school dances, [and other] special events.鈥 An athletic bunch, many undergraduates here report doing whatever they 鈥渃an outside, like play hockey or sled in the winter, and play Frisbee golf or soccer on the green in the spring and fall. Downtown and the local parks are also great places to go hang out.鈥 If the elements drive them indoors, students 鈥渟pend time staying fit at our recreational facility or working!鈥 Off-campus 鈥淪ioux Falls is a good place to find something to do. With movie theaters, amateur baseball and hockey, restaurants, book stores, and whatnot,鈥 there are a lot of things to do in the area.鈥 And not if you鈥檙e looking to get way, way off campus, Augustana is prepared to help you do that: 鈥淢any students experience some type of study abroad and the college actively invites student participation in that experience.鈥
