Boasting low unemployment, low crime rates, and a booming economy, Fargo-Moorhead has become a regional hub for culture, education, and healthcare.
Fargo was named the best city to start a career by Zippia.com (2020) and the fourth most affordable college town in America by Apartments.com (2019).
Fargo is thriving with ambitious business minds that make the city unique.
"Fargo-Moorhead was at the beginning of its transformation when I graduated. It was great to stay here, but a lot of my classmates moved away. I am all about people getting away for a while. You should test out different places and experiences. Fargo is a fantastic place to build a career and live a life. There is such value in going to do your own things for a while. There have been more and more opportunities for people to experience their own things within the F-M area."
