What do you love most about DWU?: Before I came to DWU, I had no idea where South Dakota was, but I have found in general that the people in this part of the country have the right attitude about life: relaxed and friendly. I have seen this attitude as well played out in my time here at DWU. For me, it is now simply the best place on earth to be.
