University of North Dakota Top Questions

The location is the worst thing about the University of North Dakota. There is little to do in way of cultural events, such as art museums, concerts, or historical sites. Also, because of where it is located, the University of North Dakota suffers freezing temperatures. It was -35 degrees yesterday without windchill. The climate is definately not for the faint of heart.

It gets very cold in North Dakota and thier are not a lot of trees to block the wind so in the winter it gets very cold. The between classes can long in he cold but its a good size school so you have to expect that.

The lack of diversity among the student population. Also, many students did not seem very serious about their undergraduate education.

Not a lot of cultural variety, and the weather conditions in the winter can be often times brutal with temperatures dipping down to -40 degrees. Which is much different from where I am from.

weather and underfinanced chemistry department

The worst thing about the University of North Dakota that prospective students should consider is the weather. The temperature can reach -40 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind chill can reach -80 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, since UND is located on the plains of the Midwest, the winds can be very stong. A good winter jacket is a necessity.

The weather. In the months of Dec. Jan. and Feb. it is not uncommon to have to walk to class in -25 degree weather! BRRR! Also, there is not much to do in Grand Forks.

the office of the registrar is the most unhelpful building ever and the winters are brutal

Alcohol consumption among underage college students. This is the worse thing about my school because it causes smart students to get off course during their first couple of years of school. Some are able to make up the lost ground and others are not. Those that don't make it tend to drop out and don't finish their degree. This tends to also increase the cost for school because some students have to retake classes or cannot handle as heavy of a workload. Usually, the UND students learn from their mistakes and become successful professionals.

It's really really cold.
