I thought I would look it up for  you my friend. According to the UND website All Freshman are required to live on campus.  But there is some exceptions. https://und.edu/student-life/housing/about/on-campus-living-requirement.html

Cheap online courses

Usually online courses cost more per credit hour than brick and mortar.

It was a while ago, but I think I was referring to the cost of taking the course not the cost of offering it.  With that said, ASU has to be getting some great economies of scale.

Nope. A Grade A Certified toolbox.

Armacost is getting things done without alienating everybody he crosses paths with.

Noticed NDSU released a high-level day 1 enrollment. @Teeder11 any insight to when UND will release / what it's going to look like?

That's AWESOME!!! Music to my ears!!! Yeah!!! We're whooping them with enrollment baby!!!

Some numbers from last year. Seeing how it compares to this year.

1st Day (Fall 2024)

• Freshman: 2,221
• Overall: 14,724

Official (Fall 2024)

• Freshman: 2,205
• Official: 15,019

If 15.5K is correct, that's over a 5% increase over the 1st day total last year. If the number being thrown around for Freshman (2,500) is correct, that's over 12% increase over last year.

The following numbers are tentative, because the official figures won’t be available until Sept. 22, when the North Dakota University System conducts its official Census Day count. (Typically, UND’s headcount goes up by several hundred students between the first day of classes and Census Day.)

With those caveats in mind, here are this week’s numbers:
UND’s first-day headcount this week came in at 15,440. That’s up 716 students or 4.86% over last year’s figure, and is almost 200 students over the University’s previous all-time census high of 15,250, achieved in fall 2012.

Meanwhile, UND first-day count of incoming freshmen topped off at 2,534. That’s also a record — a 174-student jump over the previous all-time high of 2,360, also achieved in fall 2012 — and represents a 14% increase over the University’s already-high number of 2,221 from last year.

I have a question regarding dorm availability. Fall 2024, the #1 topic was the increase in size of the freshman class and the availability of dorm space. Fall 2025, 14% increase in Freshman class (based on the photo, clearly more on-campus as well vs Fall 2024). Nothing on trouble with dorm availability. 

Two-part question. (1) Can someone explain this? Were there dorms for example not being utilized that are now open? How close are they actually to being 100% capacity? (2) Is there any plan for new dorms if they are near capacity? Funny thing with momentum, it can change. UND appears to be in the zone right now. Hate to see it being limited by dorm availability. (X2 as it seems likely the full-time on-line subsidies will be looked at by the state).
