So I made the venture up to Grand Forks yesterday to tour the place and the Aero facilities. Overall, I like it enough to pull the trigger and transfer on up there this summer. It's definitely really cold, but I honestly think I can deal with that. The campus is just your average college campus in my eyes. The dorms aren't anything too special. The Ralph is absolutely incredible. I really would love to watch a game. Obviously, the Aero tour just outlined about everything I've read about the place. It absolutely blows my current school out of the water. I realized that it is a little more expensive than the in-state tuition of where I am at, even though I have said before that it was cheaper. I do not remember where I got my initial figures, but now I know the real deal. That's about all I can think of right now. I may post some more highlights or lowlights if I think of any later. Last, but not least, though: Village Inn=best breakfast I have ever had. Incredible.

Hahaha I absolutely loved it. Maybe I'm just deprived of the REAL good stuff here in IL.

You don't have village inn in carbondale?? There's like 700,000 of them in my home town and they all suck. I've never liked resturant food for breakfast though.
 
About cost; are you going to try to become a ND resident? I highly recommend it. It becomes dang near free compared to paying out of state tuition. It's easy to do as well. I think the total cost I figured was somewhere around 60,000. This would have been around 80,000-100,000 if I had stayed in Iowa and gone to U of I(the cheapest) and done my training at an FBO.

The best restaurant food are often in small family owned cafes... I wonder if 3rd St Cafe here in Grand Forks has good breakfast... their burgers are pretty good (and cheap!).

And how come people here don't do brunch? I thought everyone did the occasional brunch on Sunday with Eggs Benedict and Mimosas...after a long night of dancing and consuming adult beverages. :insane:
 
Nope, no Village Inn's in Carbondale. How exactly do I apply for ND residency, and do I have to live off campus to do that?

Get two (2) of the following things as soon as you get here:
  • Hunting license
  • Fishing license
  • ND driver's license
  • Register your car in ND
And whatever you do, on the application do NOT reference any sort of indication that you are still tied to your previous state. If you choose to keep your out of state plates, do NOT state that you even own a car. Stating that you own a car that is registered in some other state will disqualify you from gaining residency.
 
Sounds good. Then, don't I have to wait a certain period of time before officially becoming a resident; like one year, right?
 
To obtain the ND residency you need a drivers license from ND and live her for one year continously in order to apply for ND tuition rates. You are a ND resident after living here for 30 days by state laws but there are different rules for Tuition at NDUS schools. A hunting license and fishing license will not count as a valid form of getting residency in the state. Car registration does not count because this state has open transfers. I had a ND plated truck but still had NV license and NV state residencyand it even said on my ND registration card that I lived in NV. So the only form valid way is as stated above a Drivers License. Anyway if you have any questions feel free to ask and hope you enjoyed your trip to ND and UND. :)

You are incorrect. We are talking about residency for tuition purposes here. Although that may be correct for residency for purpose of becoming a North Dakota resident (maybe for employment purposes?). Direct from the UND website:

Legal residence in the State of North Dakota includes, but is not necessarily limited to the following responsibilities and rights:
a. To vote in general or special elections in the State after 30 days of residence in the precinct (and assuming US citizenship).
See NDCC section 16-01-04.
b. To obtain a North Dakota driver's license before operating any motor vehicle in this State after more than 60 days of residency.
See NDCC section 39-06-02.
c. To register any motor vehicle owned or operated in North Dakota.
See NDCC section 39-04-18.
d. To file a North Dakota resident's income tax return with the State Tax Department reporting any income derived from within this State.
See NDCC sections 57-38-01 (6) and 57-38-31.
e. To obtain a North Dakota resident game or fishing license after 6 months of residency in the State.
See NDCC sections 10.1-01-02 (30) and 20.1-03-05.

So if someone who is blind can't legally obtain a driver's license they can't become a resident? You don't need a driver's license.

According to the website, a hunting or fishing license supports proof that you are a resident of the state of North Dakota. *Yeehaa!*

And motor vehicle registration does count:
c. To register any motor vehicle owned or operated in North Dakota.
See NDCC section 39-04-18.

I only had one out of those four. It's actually not necessary to have two (from my experience). This was last year. I only had a ND Driver's permit and I still got in-state residency.

As Jace mentioned, the most important part of this is to NEVER mention any out of state addresses when listing them. They ask for your previous addresses. Make sure you have them all as local addresses in ND.

Oh yeah that's right as Angel stated... DO NOT list a permanent address as out of state... ie... if you have a parent's address. That's an automatic disqualification. Just pretend that you moved from some other state to the wonderful beautiful North Dakota and make it sound like you're going to make North Dakota your wonderful place to live and make a family for the rest of your life. (It is a great place to live! Seriously folks! Just check out the commercials on Midco for proof!)
 
LOL. That's how I felt when filling out the application....I felt as if I was indicating that this was gonna be my new home and final place for retirement.

I think I will retire here. I was also thinking I should have my honeymoon in North Dakota.
 
Actually.....on I-29, there's a billboard that says, "Plan your next vacation in ND." I'm not even kidding. I think it's near the rest area in between here and Fargo.

I have all of the brochures sitting on my coffee table for my guests to see them. We need to have more people exposed to the beauty of the state. Legendary™.
