Hey Zach,
so your interests in UND have sparked again. Well that is good because it is a decent school. It's funny you mentioned Starbucks, someone just put a new one about 200 yards away from Target (which has a Starbucks inside). I didn't even know we were getting one until I drove by and saw it already doing business.
Yeah, plenty of students ride bikes around here, just not much (if at all) in the winter. It is too dang cold in the winter to be riding bikes, but on occasion, you will see students riding bikes in the winter. But, for that to happen it is above freezing (rare) and the streets are free of snow. To help with studenst not having cars, UND pays the city to allow students to ride the city bus for free. Also, we have a Cab Crawler program which is $2 for a taxi anywhere from 8pm to 2am (mostly used by drunk students not wanting to drive).
For aviation students, an aviation shuttle runs every half hour to the airport from Odegard Hall (also free).
Now for my own pitch to sell UND to you. There is a program that will be starting as soon as the Eclipse Jet is certified and in production. It will be at least a couple years, but UND is getting a few of the first jets. Students will be trained in jet operations (heard this from an instructor who has been here forever). Once this program is in place, you should be ready to take that course. Also, in early 2005, UND will be the launch customer of a new glass cockpit warrior.
Any more questions, just ask.
