WHAT I LIKED

Overall, I love the community and support I have at SMSU. I always felt like I can get help for any assignments or get clarification on anything. my professors are very good at responding to students and providing course help.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

I think the only issue would be that SMSU does need to be updated as some of the buildings are showing their age.
