申请点评
- Campus Resources: I do not use the computers much at the school but when I do there are always computers available.
- Academic Experience: The program I am in at Rigdewater is one of the best programs in the nation. The professors are very helpful and truly care about the students. I am in the Veterinary Technology program and one of the best aspects of our program is that we house animals on site, dogs, cats, ect. It is a hard program but is very rewarding.
- Campus Resources: I go to the HCMC site through Ridgewater College Paramedic course. Our class is broadcasted to Ridgewater students in Hutchinson. I know that in previous classes the students at the Hutchinson campus dropped out because the reception was too hard to watch from Minneapolis, but the Minneapolis class is almost always easy in technical situations.
- Campus Resources: Ridgewater is a pretty small campus, and without having dorms there isn't much available for resources. There are some fun places like students life, but the rest is pretty dismal. We have a small fitness center but I don't know if it is open to everyone and we have no health services. Also, our current food provider is Taher and the meals are overpriced and usually not very good.
- Campus Resources: The Willmar campus has a wireless network that reaches all across campus. No matter where you are, you always have access to the internet. All printing costs are paid as part of tuition, so there isn't any extra costs when you want hard copies of research or a paper.*(4)

（1）性价比认可度：是来源于College Prowler的一个数据。如该校的性价比认可度为85%，则意味着该校有85%的学生，认为自己在该校得到的教育值这个学费
（2）个人提升满意度：同样来源于College Prowler。如该校的个人提升满意度是83%，则意味着该校有83%的学生，认为自己在这所学校获得了相当的提升
（3）学术体验指数：是College Prowler上的一个评价指标，从A+到C-共9等，等级越高，学术体验越好，C-表示体验最差。因该项指标是将美国所有大学——包括哈佛、耶鲁等著名学校——放在一起比较的，所以绝大多数社区学院该项指标的评分都不会高
（4）三年毕业率：社区学院的学制是两年，正常是两年毕业，但不少学生会因实习、打工等原因选择花三年或更多的时间毕业
（5）转学成功率：是该校转学去其它学校——一般都会是四年制大学——的比例
