[quote=Anonymous]My husband went there in the early 2000s, so I can share his perspective on your questions:

e.g. How academically intense is it? 
As much as you want it to be. He was a bit of a partier. His grades were not great, but they were good enough. He felt like the education was very rigorous, but not cutthroat or competitive in any way.

How is it to live in the dorms for three years? 
Is it three now? He lived in the same place for all four years. He loved it. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED. He's still best friends with his roommates. His group became close with a group of girls in a nearby dorm. They were in each other's weddings, are godparents to each other's children, etc. Still incredibly close. He would tell you that the housing setup encourages these close bonds.

How's the weather? 
Fine. I mean, the midwest has some intense snow storms, but no one goes to ND for the weather.

Religious intensity? 
Again, as much as you want it to be. It is very, very easy to go to Mass. They hold Mass in the dorms, and they have them on Sunday evenings as well as mornings.

A lot of kids do some religious and/or social justice clubs. But many kids take a little break from religion, which makes sense seeing as many of them have come from Catholic high schools and often lifelong church attendance.

Things to do in the small town? Etc.)
Not a lot, but they don't care. There's a handful of bars where they would go, but their activities are pretty ND-focused.
