University of North Dakota Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of North Dakota? Why?

Kristi

The worst thing about my school would have to be that though I am taking online classes, there is no campuses near me in Michigan to further myself.

Jennifer

The worst thing about my school is the location. Grand Forks isn't the most exciting city to live in and the winter winds are terrible.

Andrew

The worse thing about my school is the number of students that enter freshman year not understanding that they are in college. When they enter the preliminary courses for their major, many non-motivated kids will drop the class or hold back the rest of the students. This makes the teachers and the college look bad when really the problem is unprepared students. Everyone has to take at least a few science and math classes. UND is a pretty great school academically, but unprepared students hurt its science, technology, engineering, and math programs' reputations.

The location away from my job.

Sincerely, I do not find the University of North Dakota to be a considered a bad school at all. In my personal opinion, you make collage what what you want it to be. However, one of the things you definitely notice in the very first couple of weeks is who is here for an education and who is just looking to party. In reality the only downside of UND is the harsh winter that takes many new freshman by surpirse , Im not going to lie, it really does get below 0 down to -20.

Darren

The worst thing about my school, in my opinion would have to be an inexperienced teacher with too high of standards. A bad teacher can make you lose your intuition to try harder in the class.

Erica

It is very cold here! You have to have a parking pass to park ANYWHERE on campus that is really expensive, so those of us who don't have one have to park a long ways away to walk to classes. Dress warm and enjoy the trudge.

Andrea

Lack of social activities that don't involve alcohol. Being we live in a colder climate, there isn't much to do outside in the winter, people stay in side and socialize, which most times involves drinking. Sporting events are big, but these also all involve drinking.

Corbin

In my school I believe that the worst thing is that drinking is a norm on campus. It was strongly apparent that something was wrong when the majority of my dorm complex was out drinking the first night and my suite mate got a minor. Throughout the year I've seen friends G.P.A's drop and miss homework because of the peer pressure to drink on the weekends. A major factor for this is that the R.A.'s and faculty don't reprimand students who are caught because it has become a norm.
