I'm actually figuring I'll be a semester ahead. The education program at Eastern is five years and I'll be done in four and a half.

I have all the benefits of living on campus. It's only like a five-minute drive. I think it would be harder for students living farther away.

I decided to move off campus because it's cheaper than living on campus.

I love it here. My time on campus was great. I just like living off campus.

I think it's nice that it's more central. I'm an education major, so I saw it all the time, but it's good that more people can see it.

In 1955, the nation was still largely industrialized, and South Dakota was an agricultural state. A high-school education was a good level of attainment. Now, to be a player in an information economy, people need more education.
