University of Minnesota-Duluth Top Questions

the people here are pretty diverse and really fun and willing to do crazy things.

Duluth is a beautiful city with many free outdoor things to do. There are many parks and places to go sledding in the winter.

The size, not too big, yet not too little.

The best thing about UMD is the availability of outdoor recreational activities. Lake Superior, BWCAW, Jay Cooke State Park, Spirit Mountain, Lutsen, Minnesota's North Shore, Canada is close, numerous parks in and around Duluth. The fishing is excellent for Pike, Waleye, Crappies, Trout, Salmon, Large and Smallmouth Bass. Grouse hunting is awesome, waterfolwers don't always take limit. The Whitetail deer is an elusive timber ghost. So many state and national parks a student could never even make it to class.

The people and the atmosphere. The party scene is usually decent.

The number of student groups that the university provides funding for, office space, and general support for. I think this is a good way to show that the university supports it's student body and their interests.

I think that UMD is a great school because we are very open to all different types of people. I think that UMD is accepting to different cultures, religions and ethnicities. There are many groups that celebrate these differences as well.

I love that all of our Teacher Assistants are international. There seems to be very little diversity at our school. Having to ask our T.A.'s for help forces us to interact with a more diverse group of people. Sometimes I would hear other students complain about how frustrating it was to not be understood by them. I think it is a very good learning experience to have to interact with someone that isn't American in order to be successfull. It will prepare us for the real world.
