<p>There aren’t that many schools in North Dakota, and you might as well list them alphabetically. Out of the full list ([Colleges</a> and Universities in North Dakota](<a href=“http://u101.com/colleges/North_Dakota/]Colleges”>North Dakota Colleges | ND Universities | U101)) I’d say these are the ones worth mentioning:</p>

<li>Dickinson State University</li>
<li>Jamestown College</li>
<li>Mayville State University</li>

<li>University of Mary</li>
<li>University of North Dakota</li>
<li>Valley City State University</li>

<p>Although, of all my classmates who are staying in state after high school, I’d say more of the “smart kids” go to UND than anywhere else.</p>
