Great atmosphere and so much to do! There is always new places to try including restaurant, bars, shopping centers. The town keeps growing each day. The town takes pride in being a tri-college community and supporting all sports teams.
Fargo is a pretty great place to live. Everybody is friendly with one another and it's easy to talk to people here in Fargo, North Dakota. Plenty of jobs, unique places to visit, fun things to see, awesome places to eat, and has a vibrant downtown place to explore! I'm proud to be a North Dakotan.
I love living in north Fargo. It's a city big enough to have everything you could possibly need, but it also has that small town feel to it. You don't have to drive for half an hour just to get to a grocery store or a bank, for example. Finding a job in Fargo is extremely easy and since it is the Midwest, most people are very friendly. The only thing I dislike about Fargo is the crime rate and safety. Things that happen "in the movies" happens here and that's a bit nerve wracking. Other than that, I truly love Fargo and think it's a city of success and opportunities!
