anyone here from north dakota?

<p>^see above ^.^</p>

<p>Randolf, I’m not but I went to a presentation by Chapman University today and they said they had students from 48 states but none from the Dakotas. You could be a trailblazer!</p>

<p>Why are you asking? I’m from North Dakota originally, but I’m a parent. My husband and I are graduates of UND. My daughter and I attended a presentation at Univ. of Dayton, where they were begging to get a student from North Dakota.</p>

<p>North Dakota rocks my socks!</p>

<p>ND sucks…</p>

<p>Not nice, young man…I thought about moving to ND to help my son win the Geography Bee…just kidding.However, I have spent some time in ND and have to say the people are great and have that helpful, pioneer spirit!</p>

<p>well ill elaborate a bit…</p>

<p>I am a native, and I do attend school there. So I feel my post has credibility.</p>

<p>The secondary educational system is crap! ND schools are so sheltered. They purposing withhold important information on other schools in the country because they want you to stay in ND. Their thinking is that if all students were adequately informed about their college options then they would all leave, which is so true.</p>

<p>I am absolutely ready to transfer out of UND and use my geographic diversity to my advantage. A friend of mine got into Stanford with unStanford stats and another got a full ride to Fordham.</p>

<p>uh, Reilly, I’m sure they’re not withholding info to prevent you from leaving. You’re old enough to find out what else is out there all by your little old self. It sounds like it’s time for you to do just that.</p>

<p>I know someone that just moved there.</p>

<p>The net population of North Dakota is actually growing with more minorities coming in than whites moving out. So its becoming more diverse but it is still a long way from becoming a less traditional city. Most high school students from North Dakota still stay in North Dakota after they graduate from high school. This may be because of cost or because their parents went to colleges in north dakota. Many students who stay in North Dakota do so because of family tradition, especially if their family runs a farm.</p>
