I'm from very far out of state and was worried at first, but I love it here. Get involved on campus and you will have a blast. College is what you make of it.

UND is a hidden gem hidden in ND. fantastic flight, nursing, and med schools, and they do not ignore the other majors either would recommend

Such a good school!

Amazing school with great opportunities. Location is standard for a Midwest school, but the community definitely makes up for it. Go here and you will not regret it.

I love this school!!

Honestly, great school. Never had issues with wifi. Food at Wilkerson is typically good, but can be hit or miss sometimes, I'll be honest. I can only speak for aviation since that is my major, but the school is really awesome and strong in academics.. There are plenty of opportunities here to start your career and socialize!

Do not waste your money or time going here.

In all honesty, the only people who go to school here are hockey fans, puck bunnies, and very few people who are actually here to get a degree. I got my undergrad here and it was the most difficult 4 years of my life due to depressing weather, few things to do for social life (unless you wanna become even more in debt joining a frat) & poor safety.

its not good
Overall 1.1
I feel bullied by some of the teachers and students who frequently flaunt their ability to snoop on my most humiliating moments. As a disabled student, I'm greatly disadvantaged, so I ignore them. It seems like a nice campus, almost like a small private school in New England. Students don't shower much or even wear nice clothes.
Overall 1.6
if you think 50 below zero means you won't need to go to school, think again. I am genuinely surprised that I haven't got frostbite. My happiness has never been worse than these last few months at UND. Some buildings are nice but other than that there is nothing. nothing. to do in Grand Forks. If you were considering coming to UND, reconsider.
Overall 2
Kind of depressing. Not much to do in town or on campus. The professors are either very fun and present an easy class or they are a thorn in your side for the semester.

This place sucks
