It's that perfect medium of a large campus university feel, but with a tight knit community. That's what really drew me in.

A City That Delivers
Brookings Community

Located in eastern South Dakota along Interstate 29, Brookings is a town of about 23,000. Less than an hour from the state’s largest city of Sioux Falls, our safe, family-friendly community thrives on offering big-city amenities while maintaining its small-town feel. Residents enjoy clean and well-maintained roads and city parks, a variety of locally owned shops and restaurants, a short commute time within the city and plentiful career opportunities in a growing job market.

The dynamic between Brookings and the university creates a mutually beneficial relationship complemented by the energy of students and campus programming – athletics, arts and more – and the student-friendly, off-campus opportunities for entertainment, employment and service.
