University of North Dakota Top Questions

The student body at UND is not as diverse as some other colleges, this would be because it is kind of in the middle of nowhere. It is an accepting campus and i dont think that anyone would feel out of place.

UND doesn't have as diverse a student body as some colleges, but that's to be expected for a school in the middle of the upper midwest. There is definitely more diversity here than in my hometown and 99.5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time, everyone is perfectly comfortable with that. From my experiences, I can say that people of all races, religions, and lifestyles are accepted here. There were a few incidents this year of discrimination against Jewish students, which made me really angry because two of my best friends are part of the Jewish Students' Organization and they're wonderful people. I don't feel like the university police department did enough to prosecute the hate crimes, but there is nothing I can do about it. Hate crimes are pretty rare, though, and I think that almost everyone is happy to have people of diverse backgrounds to hang out with. The 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Society holds events that are oftentimes open to everyone and everyone who goes has fun. There are cultural diversity nights every Thursday, which are a blast. If I had to describe the 'typical' UND student, I would say that they are from North Dakota or Minnesota, they're white or mostly white, practicing or estranged Christian, and politically moderate though maybe a hint more conservative. Even though that's the 'norm,' I don't really think that anyone feels truly out of place at UND. At least, I hope not. My best friend jestingly calls me 'hippie' for eating organic food, but we respect each other, which I think happens a lot.

Student Body is a little disconnected until it comes to Hockey?

great student body! fraternities are a great way of meeting people form all over!

UND although in North Dakota has a very wide range of personalities and groups. I have found that making friends and finding people who enjoy the same parts of life as you are not hard to find if you are willing to go out and shake a few new hands. The amount of clubs that offer cheap trips are staggering and the things that you can get credit for and have fun in are numerous to say the least. The students are friendly I mean come on your in one of the most friendly states in the USA (God Bless).

Good kids, a few alcoholics but mostly all are nice Mid-western folk

There are different types of students here. I am a part of the Theatre Department which and Political Science Department and in Theatre you can find students dressed up or in pajamas and in the Pols Dept. you see students in skirts and dresses as well as pajamas too... You can't even count on everybody to wear long pants when it's fifty below zero...

UND is mostly white people, simply because we're located in the upper mid-west. That doesn't mean that there are no other ethnicities here, we have many and they seem to fit in quite well. Most students are well mannered, and from small towns, thus perhaps a bit uncultured. Students generally wear anything comfortable to class, it's not necessary to dress-up to go to class. The politics on campus are a bit more left leaning, at least when compared to the rest of North Dakota, which is a rather conservative state.

Again, homogenous, white, conservative. Zero diversity. Lots and lots of alcoholism. Alcoholism is glorified and promoted here.

The student body is not extremely diverse. Most people are decently nice. Basically, everyone can talk to everyone; except randomly passing a person you don't know on the sidewalk....
