Welcome to the University
of North Dakota.

It is a college town located
in Grand Forks.

I'm Nicole Aaron,
and this is YOUniversity TV,

where we put you in university.

Come join me on our campus tour.

The University of North Dakota
was established all the way

back in 1883.

UND is located in the town of
Grand Forks, North Dakota.

It is a vibrant and attractive
college town of 50,000

on the banks of the Red River
of the North, which separates

North Dakota from Minnesota.

The Grand Forks area has been
really good for me actually

because it's located fairly
close to home.

It's a couple hours
from the Twin Cities,

so I mean, if you want to go
down for a weekend,

you can go down for a concert
or anything like that.

For students, there's lots
of job opportunities,

waitressing, like working
at a hospital, CNA jobs.

And there's always
something to do.

The university's 550-acre campus
includes more than 200

buildings, ranging from classic
college to modern contemporary,

and stretches a mile
from east to west.

The school is widely admired
for its beauty.

People belong here.

They walk in the door, and not
only do they find themselves

rewarded in the classroom,
but they find themselves

rewarded by the experience.

And at the end of the day,
it's a combination of both

of those things that really
provide the well-rounded

learning environment
and the total package

that is the college experience.

The University of North Dakota
is a medium size school

of nearly 13,000 students
with a male to female

ratio of 50/50.

Students come from all 50 states
and 50 different countries

to take advantage of all
UND has to offer.

In addition to core high school
classes, incoming freshmen are

required to have an 18
to 22 on the ACT,

or an 870 to 1030 on the SAT,
depending on their high school

grade point average.

The reason you go to college
is to get that on-campus

experience of understanding how
you relate to other people

who are in your own profession.

At UND, you're surrounded by
people on the same journey.

So you really do get a chance
to actually practice what you're

going to be after you
leave here.

Tuition for North Dakota
residents runs approximately

$6,000 per year
and approximately $14,000

for out of state residents.

Room and board costs are
just over $5,000 per year

for everyone.

Agreements with 20 states
and two Canadian provinces

allow students to attend
at a reduced rate.

There are nearly 200 fields
of study available for students,

including about 100
for undergrads.

Combine that with over 2800
different classes,

and you've got lots of choices
to explore new worlds.

Learning never ends.

I'm standing underneath
the eternal flame of knowledge.

Each figure represents career
paths and professions at UND.

UND has distinctive aviation
entrepreneurship programs,

along with other popular ones,
like business, nursing,

engineering, and education.

The university is also one of
only just 47 public universities

in the country with both
law and medical schools.

Talk about reaching
new heights in college.

UND has one of the top aviation
programs in the nation.

It has the world's largest
nonmilitary fleet

of training aircraft.

UND works closely with NASA on
a number of research projects.

Just imagine like waking
up in the morning,

driving out to the airport,
hopping in a plane

and flying down to Minneapolis.

You know, you just get above
the clouds, sit back and relax.

And that's class for the day.

So I mean, it's pretty awesome,
I'm not gonna lie.

Ninety-four percent of
the professors at the University

of North Dakota have a PhD
or the highest degree

in their field.

Faculty on campus here are,
they're really top notch.

They are always very helpful.

Obviously, you're gonna have
some professors that you don't

get along with.

But most of them
are there for you.

They understand, you know,
what college students

are going through.

The faculty at
Studio One especially

are really, I mean,
they're just amazing.

They've become my family
members.

And it's gonna be really tough
leaving next semester,

knowing that, you know, I won't
get to see them every day,

a couple of times a day,
like I do now.

In addition, hands on learning
is enhanced with a low student

to teacher ratio of 18:1.

And just five percent of
undergrad classes have more

than 100 students.

Athletics are strong on campus,
especially in hockey,

where the men's team
has won seven Division I

national championships.

Former basketball alumnus Phil
Jackson has won nine NBA titles

coaching the Chicago Bulls
and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fifteen spacious residence halls
give students choosing to live

on campus a great chance to
make new friends and be close

to their classes.

Greek life is prevalent
on campus, as well,

with 18 fraternities
and sororities

available to students.

I'm in Alpha Chi Omega,
and my experience

with that is amazing.

I've met my best friends there.

And the girls that have been
there with me since freshman

year and the experiences that
we've all shared will go with us

for a long way.

Hi there, you're watching
Studio One, telecast live

on Thursday afternoons from
the University of North Dakota.

It's a student produced
television show featuring

news, weather, sports,
entertainment and more.

That's a wrap.

UND celebrates culture and has
strong American Indian

and international centers
on campus, among others.

In addition to the more than
250 organizations and clubs

that are available, music,
dance, and Broadway productions

are also available
for students to enjoy.

UND students have access to
a $20 million state-of-the-art

wellness center with plenty
of weight stations,

a running track, climbing wall,
courts and much more.

If you're looking for a high
flying college adventure,

coupled with the excitement
of successful sports teams

on campus, and an atmosphere
that helps students succeed,

the University of North Dakota
might be a great choice

for your college career.

Thanks for joining us
on our campus tour

of the University
of North Dakota.

I'm Nicole Aaron,
goodbye for now.
