Student Life

Welcome to B-Town

Bemidji, or B-town as we like to call it, has been recognized as one of the best small towns in America -- and it shows. The first city on the Mississippi River, Bemidji sits in a spectacular location on the beautiful shores of Lake Bemidji. B-town is populated by friendly, involved citizens who appreciate the arts and the advantages of having an educated population. Although it retains its small town feel, Bemidji provides all the conveniences of a larger city.

A balanced Bemidji lifestyle.

With one of the most active student populations in the state, life at BSU provides a perfect balance of academics, community and recreation. Clubs and organizations keep us connected. Athletics and events keep us going. Arts and culture keep us entertained. It is just as easy to take a kayak out on the lake as it is take in a play at Bangsberg Hall.

Much of student life centers around activities coordinated at the Hobson Memorial Union, where you'll find out about events, student organizations, and socialize with students at the food courts. The HMU also houses an art gallery, the University bookstore, and the always buzzing food court.
