University of North Dakota Top Questions

The students at UND are generally hard working and smart, though some of them, especially freshmen, might lack some maturity.

My classmates are diverse, studious and genuinely good people.

Diverse in regards to where they went to high school and what they do in their spare time.

Due to the demographic of the state of North Dakota, a large percentage of students are Caucasian. This does not create the most ethnically diverse community but the mentality of students is geared towards acceptance and kindness. Interactions between students are virtually always in a positive nature. Students typically wear clothing similar to that of a high-school setting, with a bias toward Sioux gear. Most students are from the Midwest, specifically in the Twin Cities area. However, the aviation and medicinal programs bring in students from all over the world.

One of the first things you'll notice when walking around campus is everyone says hello to each other and even strangers may say hello to you on occasion. I was hardly ever homesick because I made a great group of friends who I am living with today! While some may have the assumption everyone here is of a white middle to upper class family UND enrolls students of every state and dozens of countries. Also, while many are from the Minnesota/North Dakota area everyone is open to meeting new people of different backgrounds and surprisingly not quick to judge. We have a GLBT society, international society, culture nights and the students here are very open to the different groups, even though many of them do not belong to them themself.

Alot from Minnesota, a few from North Dakota a bunch of CHinese foreign students and a lot of out of state students going to aviation school here

It's been said that North Dakota is the friendliest state in the U.S. and it is not too hard to see why. Students here are generally nice and courteous to one another. Don't expect too much diversity in the student body though. Unless you are in the aviation department, most students are from this country and there will only be handful of international and/or foreign students. Most of the students here are obviously from the Midwest. Don't be surprised to see the campus turn to a ghost town during the Thanksgiving weekend as most will drive home.
