University of North Dakota Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of North Dakota accurate?

Brian

No

Mari

To a point. There are a lot of people here that drink a lot, but then there are also a lot of people who don't drink at all. It basically depends on which crowd you hang out with. As for the stereotypes towards Greeks, almost nobody I know fits the description of a "typical" sorority girl or fraternity boy.

Jordan

drinking - you are going to be able to find drinking at any college campus, UND is not the exception. It is not as bad as I had anticipated. staying in ND, suprisingly has not forced me to hang out with or see anyone I don't want to. UND is a big enough school that you can completely reinvent yourself or hang out with the same people - whichever you choose.

Ali

every college has lots of drinking.. especially to students that have never had the true freedom of doing it...

Claire

yes

Jared

Yes and if you come here even if you are not a hockey fan you will turn into one.

Kayla

UND has made a name for having lots of drinking parties, but their student-athletes work really hard and make time for studying during trips so their grades are some of the highest at the college.

Bret

heck no there is so much diversity here

John

No, people are just lazy

Danielle

No, we have so much more to offer and we are a cultrally diverse community.

Shane

The above is only slightly true due to the lack of exposure to other races and cultures.

Toby

Yes absolutely they are true. There is NO diversity here.

Angel

Yes and no. There really isn't that much to do here, so a lot of people just drink. However, there are many people who have found alternatives to drinking. They have also started a thing called Night Life, where there are activities for students to participate in socially, without drinking.

Caroline

Although many of the students that come here from out of state are interested in aviation, UND has other good academic programs to choose from.

Adam

Not for everybody. Alot of the students at this school are from places that are very diverse. Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota are very diverse and there are a great deal of students from there. There are also alot of students from other states at this school because of how big the Aviation program is.

Bethany

I suppose the campus isn't as diverse as many schools are but there are plenty of opportunities to learn about cultures other than your own through international nights and things of that sort. As for the stereotype that everyone farms, nothing could be farther from the truth!

Charlie

Well Hockey is huge, everyone is obsessed it seems. I guess that is just normal for this part of the country. yes, it gets very cold and windy but its not like that all the time. Winter flew by this year so it seemed like nothing, and now it it beautiful, sunny and warm again.

Tyler

no, but a large majority are.

Matt

Yes, for about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students.

Ben

None we are just a bunch of normal college students from all over the country.
