USD doesn’t have the best campus facilities in the nation. But for a smaller campus in a smaller town, the school offers up-to-date buildings with more remodeling currently taking place. In the past five years, USD has remodeled many of their dorms and the DakotaDome, cut ribbons on a new mass communications department and a new admissions/financial aid/registrar building, and is currently in the process of building a new medical school, new student center, new business school, and remodeling Slagle Hall, our largest theater/auditorium. Construction seems to be constant, and while it can be frustrating, students realize that, in the long run, these new facilities will be worth the hassle. On campus, be sure to check out the DakotaDome’s swimming pool, the Concourse (the large hallway in the Neuharth Center), and Farber Hall, located in Old Main.
USD may not have any bowling alleys, movie theaters, and convenient stores, but these can all be located within walking distance from campus. The CSC does offer some entertainment, including pool tables and a big-screen TV. Off campus, be sure to check out Prairie Lanes Bowling on Dakota Street, the Coffee Shop Gallery on Main Street, and the Civic Council on Prospect Street.

Wellness Center Is a Big Plus
The Wellness Center is very spacious and has a lot for athletes to do as well as other people who want to work out or try the rock climbing wall.

Rapid City Satelite Location
The University Center at Rapid City is where I attend, not the main campus in Vermillion. The University Center is a beautiful facility. The downtown facility where the some of the nursing classes take place is in desperate need of renovating. If they could move everything to the University Center, I would give it an A.
