University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of Minnesota-Twin Cities?

Danielle

I feel a sense of pride talking about how small my class size was in school. I loved being able to know everyone in my class and being close with majority of them. I also like to brag about all of the class activities that we would do for student council and national honor society, and how fun homecoming, varsity games, and being involved in any extra curricular was a great experience.

Kaley

How much fun I have learning and going to class and how much fun I have outside of class.

Jamie

No matter the size of campus you can make it as small or as large as you want. Getting involved in one of the numerous clubs helps you become closer and familarize yourself with people who have the same interests. Since the school is in the city, it is easy to jump on a city bus or the lightrail and head to places like Mall of America, or Como Zoo. Partly because of the large size after school work, you are sure to never be bored.

Al

The physics, mathematic, and statistics departments and the courses associated with each department and how much I learn from each course. The social activities that can be done around the area, such as snow related activities, sky diving, scuba diving, and other water related activities. The beautiful surroundings of the area around the campus with the many parks and various bike paths.

Courtney

I brag most about the location of my school. We are in a large city and there is a lot to do and there are many job opportunities.

It has the resources and opportunities of a huge school, but when you get involved it feels like a much smaller community. It's the best of both worlds. The location is also ideal both for social and career opportunities.

I tell that that there is so much to do and so many things to choose from. The campus is beautiful and our facilities are gorgeous too.

Even though you're in the middle of a metropolitan area it doesn't have to feel that big because the campus is like it's own city, but you're only ten minutes from downtown.

It seems as though at other schools, the people are not as open to making new friends and for me, I feel as if I have created an extension of my family by coming here.
