The UND Community
At UND, you'll enjoy the atmosphere of a smaller college campus which allows students and faculty to easily interact. Yet, you'll have access to the comprehensive academic programs, resources, services, and opportunities of a large university.
UND's student-centered approach helps you succeed. This is the product of our top-notch faculty (who are committed to teaching), advisors, and student services. You can join one of nearly 300 student organizations, take part in service-oriented learning and internships, study abroad, conduct research with professors, and enjoy living in an energetic college town. UND has one of the best Wellness Centers in the nation, Division I athletics, including the finest collegiate hockey venue in the world, and lots of activities help you stay engaged and active. As a UND student, you may take part in "real world" projects that have ranged from creating a spacesuit prototype, building a hydrogen-powered car, writing and producing a magazine, running a capitalist venture fund, and developing an AgCam, which was launched on the International Space Station.
