University of North Dakota Top Questions

UND's students are much like the population of the Midwest: white, Christian, straight, and middle-class. There is some diversity. For example, over fifty countries are represented of students who are studying abroad at UND. Even though there isn't much variety in the types of people who compose the student body, UND students are pretty open to everyone.

We are not a very diverse campus, but we welcome people of every race and ethnicity. No matter what your background is you will feel welcome at this school. Students at this school are also very politcally active which is always good to see. Students at this school are from all over due to the fact that our aviation program is the best in the nation.

A big chunk of UND's students are from the midwest, however there is a large amount of diversity that come for the aviation program here. Which by the way is excellent. Many students are from Minnesota or North Dakota and many lived in very small towns, but of course there are others as well.

UND's student body is very diverse. Everyone is really friendly for the most part. People who dont know you will smile and say hi when they pass you on the sidewalk, and everyone is just willing to reach out and make friends. Our student body has people from all over which brings a variety to our school. I love our student body.

UND is a fairly white campus but you still see other people around. Also UND is pretty good about trying to make you aware of diversity and there are plenty of clubs or events to go to, to learn more.

I like the students. I don't think there's much involvement with the students in extracurricular activities. If you want to get involved though, there's always enough to participate with. I don't mind that people don't get involved, I think it's nice just hanging out with people.

Most of UND's students are from either Minnesota or North Dakota and if they aren't usually they are here for aviation.

Not a lot of different backgrounds, but good people with open minds

I think most UND students are from surrounding states as well as the aviation program pulls in alot of students from places all over the country. I would not want to come to UND, if I were Asian.

The student body as a whole is very friendly.

There are groups of every kind on campus. I really think most people can find their niche here or at least people with similar ideas. We have many international students which adds another dimnesion to the student population. UND has a good number of service groups and students are usually interested in helping out. I have made friends with students from every field of study, it seems that different types of students find have opportunities to meet and form relationships. The aviation school definitely increases the diversity of the student population by increasing attraction of students from all over the world.

I'll be honest - I'm generally the only female in my classes and I don't mind. Being a minority is not a big of a deal as some groups make it out to be.

At UNd there are so many different types of people, and the fact that Aviation attracts students from all over the world, creates an extra diverse student body. You can almost always tell who "belongs" to which group; footballplayers, greeks, theatre people, anthopology students..etc, but when it comes down to it, everyone is able and more than willing to interact in spite of these labels. This is something I have appreciated alot at UND, because I have made so many friends from all corners of the school, which means that wherever I go, chances are I will meet some friends.

Studends wear jeans, sweatshirts, dressy clothes, just whatever style the student feels most comfortable in. During the winter you must dress for the cold weather. UND is split politically I believe, there are both republican and democrat organizations on campus, and are very involved in student government as well as state, local, and federal government. All types of backgrounds are present, the aerospace school brings in a lot of diversity. Most students are from a middle-class family, but there are both extremes.

the student body is relaxed and easy to talk to there is always a group to find something in common with, there are people representing every walk of life

N/A

It seems as though the average student is from right here in the upper-midwest. They come from middle to upper-middle class families and appear as though they were involved back in high school, usually athletically so. I don't believe there really exists racial or religious problems on campus, though we are quite diverse. Sitting in class the most common clothes being worn are sweats, jeans, and on occasion the random person in business attire. Students do also care about politics with the entire scope being represented.

Most of the students wear jeans and sweatshirts to class unless they have a presentation or something then they would dress up.

lots of students

I don't think there are any huge problems with race or religion on campus. I don't know that any student would feel out of place at UND because the majority of the people here are very welcoming and accepting. Most students wear jeans or sweatpants to class...very casual stuff. The dining hall that I eat in is very mixed, you can't really determine between different groups of students except for when the football team is there eating. I think students here are politically active, and it seems that most are democratic.
