REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingRight now I am taking general classes, some are the same that I took in high school like psych, chemistry, and precalculus but the teachers cover the material in much greater detail.
Cassondra from Ham Lake, MN
I love the classes here, and the teachers are very willing to help you out in anyway they can.
Allison from Fridley, MN
I am definitely learning a bunch here at UND. The math classes I've had are better than any high school math, but the Chemistry classes I've had so far haven't been the best if you, like me, don't have a strong Chemistry background (thus the 4/5). A vast majority of the classes are well taught, but occasionally you will come across a dud.
Kat
The upperclasses in math are challenging but they will sure help you expand you knowledge on mathmatics.
Stephen from Bismarck, ND
The Univerisity of North Dakota has a great team of staff, especially in the Biological Sciences department. The biology teachers here take a lot of pride in their lecture teachings asa well as their research studies. If you have questions or have trouble in any aspect of the class they are more than willing to take time out of their schedule to help you to understand the material that they are teaching. All of my teachers are very nice and student orientated. School here has been very effective in helping me to understand the different categories of my major and where exactly I would enjoy further learning of my major.
Andrew from Moorpark, CA
The professors are great and are willing to take the time to talk to you one on one if you need help or have any questions.
Dylan from Stirum, ND
I love the classes and professors here. All of mine so far have been very nice and helpful. I am an aviation student so there really is no better choice than UND.
Luke from Shoreview, MN
For the most part, the professors here know what they're talking about. You can see that they know their stuff and really enjoy what they teach.
Stephanie from Ripon, WI
Great for aviation majors. Great for hockey fans. Get a warm coat.
UND is a fantastic place to come and hone your educational foundation. Faculty to student ratios are commendable and professors are most always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to their students. In addition, UND's location is prime for many extracurricular happenings, including world class athletics, facilities, and entertainment.
