WHY BEMIDJI:

In
this Northwoods setting, students, staff, and faculty have a variety of activities at their fingertips. Possessing all the charm and
character of a college town, Bemidji remains a tight-knit community of good neighbors and engaged citizens. While the city of Bemidji
— named after the Ojibwe Chief Shaynowishkung (nicknamed Bemidji) — is home to a diverse population of more than 15,000 people,
it serves a regional population of more than 100,000.

Located between three American Indian reservations – Leech Lake, Red
Lake, and White Earth, students have an opportunity to experience a dynamic local culture and history. Bemidji also sits at the center of
the legends of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. The famous statues of Paul and Babe greet students as they drive along Lake Bemidji.

Though quaint and historic, the city offers the urban conveniences upon which college students rely. Northwest Technical College is
conveniently located minutes away from affordable restaurants, cozy coffee shops, grocery stores, city parks, and more. Small, locally-owned
shops and art sculptures line the streets of downtown Bemidji, while national chains can be found in and around the Bemidji area, including
an uptown selection of department stores and restaurants.

The thriving downtown community presents ample opportunities for engagement
off-campus. Among other things, there are fine-dining restaurants, cafes, and a natural foods co-op in downtown Bemidji. The historic Paul
Bunyan Playhouse has a calendar of classic shows; restaurants and lounges offer weekly live music performances; the First Friday Art Walk
provides a tour of new monthly art exhibits; and annual events such as the Loop the Lake Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Blue Ox
Marathon, Bemidji Winterfest, and The Minnesota Finlandia bring the community together.

For those who love the outdoors, there are
wooded, multi-use trail systems within minutes of campus and community parks with walking trails, playgrounds and a skate park. Lake Bemidji
State Park and its miles of navigable trails is located directly across the lake from BSU, and the Buena Vista Ski Area — just 12
miles north of town — offers downhill skiing and BSU-sponsored student transportation in the winter months. Further, the Mississippi
River Headwaters is a mere 45 minutes from Bemidji.
