Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
University Of North Dakota • Grand Forks, ND
Studying Social Work (completion in 2007)
• 1/12/2012
"I should have majored in something else. The administration made it seem like it would be easy for us to get jobs in social work."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | No, because I didn't get a job in the field I wanted. They should go to a school in a larger city. |
| Program Reputation | 4 | It really isn't well known at all, other than locally in Fargo. I have talked to people who live in Minnesota across the border, and they have never heard of the major before. |
| Program Quality | 6 | The school was fine for my degree. It was mostly my fault that I got stuck with my job. |
| Instruction | 5 | I learned a lot about the value of serving society. Some of the teachers were kind of delusional about the job prospects. |
| How Difficult | 3 | It wasn't hard to get an "A" in most classes. The amount of homework was very manageable. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We learned most of our material from books. We didn't really go out in the city and work with people often. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | Classes were easy to get to and flexibility was fine. There were options on weekends and some evenings. There were also some online classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | The facilities were just fine; we didn't require much. |
| Social Life | I should have gotten out more and met people. I stayed in my room a lot and was isolated most of college. | |
| Placement Services | 3 | I wasn't able to get a job in social work, because the service was so poor. I am now a caregiver and I dislike my job. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | It isn't good at all and no one talks to each other. Everyone is worried about themselves after they graduate. |
