that there are so many people to meet, and a bigger campus means more to explore

It is easy to adapt since it is a friendly environment. The teachers are very helpful and are willing to help you.

The best thing about the University of Minnesota is that if offers the best of both a large state school and a small private school. The campus is beautiful, close to the city but its own community. We have access to great professors, carreer opportunities, and beautifully preserved facilities. There are so many ways to get involved in campus and the big ten sporting events are always a great way to show school spirit and feel connected to the university. On the other hand, Minnesota offers smaller class sizes and professors who want to give individual attention to each student.

The best thing about the U is it's location and size. Located in Minneapolis and a short bus ride from downtown, uptown, and St. Paul, there is never a shortage of things to do in your free time. I love the fact that it's a big school because there are always new people to meet. The big size may seem scary but as you get into your major classes you start to see the same people over and over again; it's big but I think it's the perfect size.

The best parts about the University of MN are the environment and the people. The Big city can make one feel very small, but to me, it makes me feel more grown up and on my own. The people I have met here are also so friendly and cooporative. I have made some Life friends and am glad that I chose this University.

The location, because there is everything you possibly need close by. Also, having the 2 different campuses gives a perfect home for anyone.

I think the size of campus is the best thing about my school. Being located in a large city makes it very diverse, and also allows for my school to get involved with a large city. They have built a community within a large city, and helped to make a big impact in this way.

At the University of Minnesota, the number of opportunities on and off campus is extreme. By being based in Minneapolis and St. Paul, the surrounding community hosts the headquarters of many companies, making internships and job opportunities numerous. In addition, on campus there are multiple student groups and volunteer opportunities that allow one to get involved in any way he or she pleases to make his or her college experience the best possible.

The best thing about my school is the sense of community that is present on the campus grounds. While attending this university students feel that they really are a part of something worthwhile. As soon as spring rolls around, the majority of the students can be found lounging about on the school lawns, studying under a tree, or socializing outside. It is a wonderful feeling to walk through campus and see hundreds of smiling and content faces.

Diversity and the ability to develop your own path.
