NDSU
First week at NDSU, eight things that actually matter
You will get lost. That is allowed. Not saving University Police is not a personality.
1. Official move-in beats a random helper
Housing maps, load-in, hall staff. Helpers can take a box from a public lot to a public door. They cannot badge into your floor.
2. Save 701-231-8998
NDSU University Police, 24/7, escorts at that number. 911 for danger.
3. Learn Memorial Union in daylight
Your indoor public default for the next four years of asks.
4. Student Health is Wallman, 701-231-7331
Clinic hours, not an ER. Counseling is Ceres Hall, 701-231-7671.
5. Parking lots will try you
Jump starts in public, lit corners. No residence pin. See the parking-lot listicle if you want the geography.
6. MyNDSU in the app
Official events, attributed. Home rail, then Community. Tap through.
7. The river is a state line
Moorhead is Minnesota. Fun on Saturday. Different police if you need them.
8. Ask in a sentence when the day stalls
Directions, a study table, a jump. TestFlight, iOS 15+. Approved helpers only. Two-hour window. Meet in public.
Questions people actually ask
Do I need a .edu email for Help Me?
No. Email or Sign in with Apple. A .edu address does not skip helper review.
Is move-in a good time to apply as a helper?
Apply when you can wait on a staff decision. Move-in weekend is a busy time to help, not a shortcut around identity review.

New to NDSU, without pretending you already know 19th Avenue
New to North Dakota State University? Campus police, Memorial Union, official events, and how Help Me fits a first semester in Fargo.

NDSU move-in weekend, without turning the hallway into a gig board
NDSU move-in: heavy boxes, public meeting spots, campus police, and why Help Me is a neighbor — not housing staff or a moving company.
NDSU
NDSU student resources, official names first
NDSU student resources: University Police, Student Health, Counseling, Memorial Union, MyNDSU events, library, MATBUS — official first, Help Me second.
NDSU
NDSU Police and Safety — official campus help
NDSU University Police: 911 for emergencies, 701-231-8998 for campus police and escorts. Help Me is not campus security.
winter
Parking lots where cars die — and where to meet instead of a driveway
Winter lots that kill batteries: West Acres, NDSU, downtown ramps, 13th & 45th, West Fargo, MSUM. Meet in public — do not share a home pin.
who it's for
For students in Fargo–Moorhead
For NDSU, MSUM, Concordia, and M State students: everyday campus help, official events, and a way to ask without posting to a group chat.
Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
