I went to UND and I don't think it was much more expensive than going to a different university. I had the tuition receprocity though. But I do have to say don't make quick judgements, although it is very very cold up there it was still definitely fun, people there party just as much if not more than other schools and I liked that it was not all aviation, most of my close friends were NOT aviation majors. And as for having to flight instruct for long... I flight instructed for only 6 months, not at UND but you don't have to instruct at the same place you go to school at. so I don't really have an opinion about what is better but I thought i should stick up for UND because you shouldn't judge it if you don't know anything about it.
