Somebody who is looking for options, but still wishes for the school to be personal. I never feel like just a number here at UND. The campus is large enough that you are able to do your own thing, but small enough that you still gain those close friendships. The University of North Dakota has everything from dorm life to being able to explore Greek life. We are our own community with a great sense of history and pride. If somebody is looking to find their home away from home, UND is a great place to start.

Someone who is friendly and looking to meet lots of new people.

Additionally, the cost of living is lower here in Grand Forks than other places in the continental U.S. Furthermore, any Mens' Hockey fans would love it here. Our Hockey team does very well, and there is a lot of spirit here, especially at the games.

Someone who attends UND should want to study and socialize, all in one of the coldest places you can imagine (for a few months of the year).

Someone that works hard to earn the grade. Someone who is honest, trust worthy, lets everyone in their group.

I believe the people that attend this school are people who are very committed in getting a degree. It is some what stressful at times with work loads but people get through it and prosper. People at this university are from many different places around the U.S. and foreign countries. If you really like the cold. I does get really cold here in the winter but most pull through and have a great time. People are real easy to get to know and will help you out any time you would need it.
