Description

~ Sitting upon the western shore of Lake Bemidji, peppered with stands of pine, oak and birch, our campus is as beautiful as it is safe and welcoming. ~

Many of our students enjoy the outdoor lifestyle year round. Our proximity to the lake and the surrounding north woods gives us easy access to all kinds of recreation, including kayaking, boating, hunting, hiking, foraging, skiing, fishing and even ice fishing through the winter.

If you’d prefer to avoid the outdoors through the northern Minnesota winters, you’re in luck. Our major campus facilities are connected by all-season underground passages, so you can get to and from most places on campus without having to brave the weather.
