    Because we live on campus, the security is guaranteed, the staff and the people are very enthusiastic about us. The dorm is very quiet and clean. I love that.

    I feel totally safe here, Spearfish, cause it's really peaceful and cozy. Everyone seems nice to students here. There are nice and close places that we can buy stuff. It only takes about 10 minutes by foot, so we don't have to worry about the transportation, actually. There are several coffee shops here, and they are really good. I hope they could just open their shops until a little bit later.

    Spearfish is a VERY small town. Don't expect a full American experience here. They don't even clear the snow. Winters are extremely cold with lots of (uncleared) snow. There really isn't much to do or explore.

    It is a small and safe city. It is a romantic and beautiful place. However, there is no public transport which is a minus point.

    I stay in Rapid, because I am taking Masters class. Rapid is the second biggest city in the SD. You can enjoy visiting to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse memorial just within 30 mins.
