I refer to it as the "Harvard of the North." Great professors, salt of the earth people with old world values, truly interested in the students that attend the university. I tell folks that it may be cold, but that leaves us more time to study and commit to education. It's cold and down right miserable, but there is little excuse to attend class.

There's a lot of stuff to do on campus, depending upon your interests, and it's writers conference in the spring every year is spectacularly amazing.

It may be the frozen north of the Dakotas, but this school is anything but lacking diversity. Coming here, I learned quickly this school has reached out globally to form partnerships with schools in China, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, England, Norway, and more. Everyone gets along well, and there is a camraderie here amongst the student body. There is an active attempt for the students here to experience new foods, sports, and make friends from all over.

The other sports teams are also fun to watch as the student body is very supportive of the sports teams. The people here are very friendly and willing to help out in a moments notice.

When talking about my school, I always mention the hockey arena and the performers that come to it over the year.

The school also holds weekend Night Life events for the stuidents to do on the friday and saturday nights. The other aspect of the school that I mention is that the teachers here get to know the students well.

The best thing about UND is that they offer accredited engineering degrees online. For instance, Mechanical Engineering. I currently work full-time and have a young family. It is great to know I can get a quality education online at UND. Another great thing about UND is that the insturctors/professors go above and beyond to help students (online). Whenever I needed help, I would receive an e-mail very shortly in response. My physics professor also included PowerPoint presentations to show how 'sample' equations should be worked out.

Such a diverse group of students here, that makes it fun and exciting to hear the opinions and words of others. If you get stuck in the snow or on the ice, people here are kind enough to stop by and say 'Hey, let me help you!' People will let you know if what your doing is wrong, ugly, or needs working on. This helps you prepare for the career field your studying and increase your abilities.

The school spirit, especially at hockey games, and the great academic programs.

It is so cold in North Dakota that our school has above ground and underground tunnels to walk in. Often the temperature would be double digit negative and there would be frostbite warnings advising people not to be outside more than 10 or 15 minutes. Dispite this, school was very rarely cancelled so we would all park and walk for much longer than the advised 15 minutes to get to class. Students definitely had to be dedicated to graduate at the University of North Dakota.

When I brag about my school to my friends, I think about many things. UND has a very diverse amount of programs, along with a very diverse student body. However at the same time, It has the Midwestern Friendliness and Work Ethic that we are famous for.
