About Student Housing in Grand Forks
Grand Forks is a city of approximately 57,000 residents located in northeastern North Dakota along the Red River, which forms the border with Minnesota. It is home to the University of North Dakota and the Grand Forks Air Force Base, both of which anchor the local economy. The city has a compact downtown that has been revitalized since the 1997 Red River flood, and offers a range of dining, shopping, and cultural options relative to its size. Grand Forks winters are among the harshest in the continental United States, with temperatures regularly dropping below zero, but the city and university are well-equipped for cold-weather life.
