Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prepare yourself for the increased rigor of college courses and living on your own BEFORE you leave for school! Take some harder classes in high school and start doing your own laundry and cooking for yourself so that you'll know how to live without Mom and Dad around.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Some classes are notoriously hard but some are also notoriously easy. This school is mostly known for its amazing hands-on experiences in labs from the barn to the business office. Has a diverse population of friendly, knowledgeable professors who are always eager to help a student reach their full potential.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The living accommodations are very comfortable and UMC has an awesome population of students to live with, it's not hard to find a friend here! Dorm life here is easy-going and neighborly people will stop in just to say hi or bust you out of your room for a study break.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Quality of the food is mostly average but with an excellent variety of choices for diners of all preferences including vegetarian and gluten-free. There is a main dining hall, a convenience store, and a late-night grill for convenient meals at any time! Staff are incredibly friendly in the dining hall as well and make it just like big family dinners back home.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Play games out in the commons area, catch a movie in town, do some shopping in either beautiful small town Crookston or the bigger city of Grand Forks, ND just 30 minutes away. Most of the time students tend to simply hang out with friends whoever, it is a small town but there is truthfully never a dull moment here!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Only $18,473 per year for UMC with housing and tuition included. For insightful hands-on learning opportunities in your chosen field within your first weeks of class and smaller class size that makes teaching more individual, this school is a good deal!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We call our commons area The Mall so when new studens first get here and someone says, Go to the Mal they look at you like you're nuts!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Content with a more easy-going, quiet atmosphere. Not afraid of working outdoors or getting dirty, MUST be able to deal with our cold temperatures and strong winds!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
UMC has over 40 clubs to choose from with many involving agriculture or animals but some with religion, sports, and more! There are also fair amount of men's and women's sports such as the equestrian team and soccer, with many fun intramural sports like Zumba and Insanity.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
A small town and small campus, UMC is always very safe and secure but just in case there are 24 hour security guards around campus on call for report of a crime or even an escort home should you need it. Doors are locked with an electronic ID system and there are emergency towers all over campus that can call 911 in case of an emergency.
