University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Top Questions

I wish that I would have known how to manage my time better, because there are so many things going on at the University that I would like to participate in, but can not because I do not have time. Also, I wish that I would have known that it would be harder to make friends than I had thought it would be, since it is such a big school.

I wish I would have known how important high school was and if one has the opportunity to take AP classes, they should take full advantage of that because it will help in the end.

I wish I had known how hard it was to get financial aid or a scholarship from the university.

I wish I had known more about the clubs and other social activities. It didn't feel like the orientation was very helpful in that respect.

I wish I would have known that at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, every student is a number, rather than a student. Rarely, if ever, your professors know your name, and if they think they may know it, they don't bother trying because they figure they will say the incorrect name and the student will get angry at them.

How expensive it is to live in a city.

Nothing! its an adventure

Nothing about the school itself was a problem to me- I had enough knowledge about the school to prepare myself in that sense. The things I wish I would have known prior to attending are simply better financial and time management skills, but I would have had this problem at any school I attended.

I wish I had known about this school much earlier. During my college education, I have attended four different universities in two different states. Being at the University of MInnesota is the first time that I have felt that I belong somewhere. This university is a perfect match for me. I am currently being challenged in ways that I never thought possible, and am learning things about myself that I did not know until now.

How hard I was really going to have to work to succeed at this school.
