NDSU is located in Fargo-Moorhead, a pleasant, safe, and growing community of approximately 209,000. As the largest population center in the region, Fargo-Moorhead is a center for entertainment, finance, and medical services for a large geographic area including the state of North Dakota and northern Minnesota. Two universities (North Dakota State University and Minnesota State University Moorhead) and one private liberal arts college (Concordia College) are located in Fargo and Moorhead. The FM area has a healthy economy (ND has a $1B budget surplus), good public schools, low crime rates, ample shopping, local theatre and music companies, several art galleries, semi-professional baseball and hockey, and Division I intercollegiate athletics. Hector International Airport in Fargo is convenient and served by several major airlines. Sun, clear skies, and clean air predominate year round. Summers tend to be dry and very pleasant with occasional hot stretches. Winters are cold, though snowfall is moderate. Outdoor sports and activities are popular year round. Visiting nearby northern Minnesota lakes, canoeing, camping, cycling, softball, and soccer are popular in summer; winter pastimes include cross-country skiing, skating, and snowmobiling. The city has an excellent park system that includes several quality golf courses and bicycle/running paths along the Red River, which divides Fargo-Moorhead and becomes a ski trail during winter months. Fargo is an hour's drive from major resort areas in the Minnesota "lakes country" and two hours from scenic Itasca State Park, where you will find the headwaters of the Mississippi river. Central and western North Dakota offer beautiful hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and related opportunities in the Badlands, national grasslands, and numerous river valleys. Winnipeg, Manitoba is less than a four-hour drive to the north and Minneapolis-St. Paul is an equal distance to the southeast.
