I dont know about the Uni in particular but SD..i know ....Go there if you are OK with harsh winters, small towns, no good international airports, less social life ...but then u are going there to go to school...so it should nt be that bad..just look @ the tuition/fees and the name of the program you are going for...Also be ok with long drives between cities and badlands!! but SD is a fun place to be if you are into nature, fishing, lakes, camping , hiking, indian heritage...and some areas are beeautiful
