University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

I probably would have considered attending another school the Uof M does not have an undergraduate social work program. My major of family social science does not allow me to be a licensed social worker. However, the services of the parent student help center were wonderful, and the support of fellow student parents was invaluable. I'm not sure I would have done so well without this help. The school is very large, but the community at the Student Parent Help Center is amazing. I would recommend utilizing services at the Student Parent Help Center for student parents.

Not to ever incounter the Economics Department. They dont care about their students at all and do not accomodate when it is necessary to do so.

I wish I had known that people here are really willing to help if you are willing to ask for it. There are many resources and different ways to get involved on campus, but you need to go out and find them. Also, there are many research opportunities for undergraduates, and as long as you are persistent faculty members are very willing to give great advice.
