The University of North Dakota (UND) is a public university in Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA. Established by the Dakota Territorial Assembly in 1883 — six years before the establishment of the state of North Dakota — UND now enrolls over 12,500 students and is the oldest and largest university in the state. UND was founded as a university with a strong liberal arts foundation. Today, UND also offers a variety of professional and specialized programs, including the only schools of law and medicine in the state. UND is also known for its School of Aerospace Sciences which trains airplane pilots from around the world. UND has also been named a space grant institution.
Roughly half of the student body is from North Dakota with the remainder coming from around the nation and the world. UND’s economic impact on the state and region is more than $1 billion a year and it is the second largest employer in the state of North Dakota, after the Air Force. Recently, UND has put an emphasis on research and currently specializes in research involving health sciences, nutrition, energy and environmental protection, aerospace, and engineering. Several research institutions are located on the UND campus including the Energy and Environmental Research Center, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center.
The UND athletic teams are called the Fighting Sioux. The men's ice hockey team, which plays in the Ralph Engelstad Arena, has won seven national championships. The Fighting Sioux ice hockey teams compete at the Division I level and all other teams currently compete at the Division II level, but all teams will be at the Division I level starting in 2008.

UND. Superior academics, it is located in Grand Forks, a town of about 60,000 people, and there is so much to do. If you like hockey, the team is a Division I championship contender every year, and the games are always cool. The facilities there are top notch, and you would only be a couple of hours from Winnipeg, and a few more to Minneapolis, two great places to go on the weekend. This city is very safe, as North Dakota has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. It is a relatively small city with good transportation so it is easy to get around. Finally, the city is growing rapidly, and new business open every year for good shopping and eating. Hope this helps a little.

It is still recognized as the best. It goes far beyond any flight school. If you want to learn to fly, go somewhere else. If you want to becone the airport manager, go to UND.
