University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Top Questions

The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities offers all of the opportunities of a big city school, without feeling overwhelming. The entire campus is like a town of its own, and a student can truly feel at home. There is ample opportunity for social activities, employment, and of course excellent learning, without ever having to leave the campus. A student can feel safe knowing they are getting a great value for their dollar at a great University.

The University of Minnesota is located in a city that is rich in artistic and economic culture, so there is something for everyone in the city of Minneapolis.

The University of Minnesota is a research school and I'm pretty proud of that. The staff is very liberal and tends to be very helpful.

It's huge!!

It is right in the city but still has a great community, campus feel to it.

My school, the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities is different because of it's massive size. There are approximately 80,000 students, faculty and staff whereas the other two schools I considered (University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and Dartmouth College) are less than 15,000 people. I do not like the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities because of it's massive size and I plan on attending University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire next year.

It is in a more convenient location, and despite being a large campus in a large city, it really doesn't seem that small. There is a plethora of organizations to get involved with to suit any need. Something unique about the campus' size is that a long bridge over a river connects the East and West bank, and the walls of the interior are painted with every student organization to show our vast variety. On a different note, our mascot is really a squirrel (it has a long tail, but let's keep pretending it's a gopher).

The enviroment is just what I wanted. Lots of people, lots of places to go, I love it!

The best part of being a part of such a huge campus is the diversity! Because of this, there's little pressure to "fit in". It doesn't matter if you dont like drinking, if you're a party animal, if you're an athiest, if you're super religous, if you're a minority, if you like kung-fu, if you're library junkie or you play the xylophone...there will always be someone or even a club for you to fit in with.

University of Minnesota provides research opportunities that enhances the students interests.
