The University of North Dakota, commonly known as UND, is a public university in Grand Forks, which is the 3rd largest city in North Dakota state, as well as the county seat of Grand Forks County. During the census of 2008, the city’s population was estimated at a number of little over 51 000 inhabitants, and nearly 98 000 were living in the metropolitan area.

UND was founded in 1883, 6 years before North Dakota became a state, with the help of George H. Walsh, a native who submitted a bill to the Territorial Legislature of Dakota Territory, asking for the new state of North Dakota’s university to be located in Grand Forks.

In 2006, the UND students have revealed a new space suit that they were working one for over a year, which may one day travel to Mars, development which was sponsored by NASA.
