Trust me, I have 2 good friends who went there. One regretted it and left after the first year, the second stayed with it but always b*tched about North Dakota.
That's funny. I had a great time in college too. So what NoDak has less than a million residents? Grand Forks was cold (duh), but it was certainly a college town.
I too had plenty of adventures- enjoying the great outdoors, rivers, lakes, large cities (within a reasonable distance). I also made time to get out skiing at least 2 times a year. Not too difficult with Montana a day's drive away.
College is what you make of it. UND has a normal campus setting, with more than just aviation/aerospace. (with 10000+ on campus or affiliated with the U, it isn't exactly a small specialized "college"). Plus if you like hockey, there's few schools that can match.
There's more to school than drinking and parties (although I can say that I did plenty of both in my 4 years at UND)...
