I had an opportunity to go
to a tech school closer to home
for this same program, but I
chose NDSCS because of its
four-year college feel with the
dorms and athletics. I became
an RA while I was here in order
to get to know people and earn
some experience.

in Minnesota and 10 miles east of Interstate 29 in North
Dakota. A small town at heart, we’re friendly, like to work
hard, cater to our college students and enjoy living life.

small…but before long, we guarantee it will feel like home.
CLOSE TO THE CITY.
Need to get away for a few days? The Wahpeton campus
is just 45 minutes from the Fargo-Moorhead area and
three hours from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Plus, it’s only
30 minutes away from lake country. So grab your friends,
some snacks and hit the road for a weekend full of
memories.
