Liberal crap hole . - 3/28/2021
Not a bad place except for all the liberal cry babies here , they are actually more socialists than anything .

Avoid Vermillion if you can , we can't sell our house fast enough

#LOVermillion - 1/9/2020
I attended USD and returned several years later, recognizing the quality of life Vermillion offers. It is a great example of what the best of small town living can be in the midwest US. There are somewhat limited entertainment opportunities and dining options, but only when compared to much bigger communities that come with all the down sides of metro areas.

Although the city is considered by many a liberal oasis in a red state, most of the students at USD come from small towns in SD and carry with them a relatively narrow-minded view of the world. There is a lot of racism and bigotry and conservative thinking in SD, and although the university
