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

Melissa

I always talk about being so close to downtown.

Melissa

Personally, I brag about the size of the school, the students, the faculties, and what's available on campus. For example, like the restaurants on campus, the different kinds of food (Korean, American, Chinese, Thai, etc.), the theatre and movie theater, the bowling ally, the clubs, etc. I brag about basically everything about this school. The faculties are just the best. I've never seen so many people willing to help students. Most of the faculities are even willing to help students that they have never met and not in the same field of work.

Roseline

The livelyness of our campus and my fun job.

John

drinking and parties

Ricky

Our division 1 sports. Most of my friends go to smaller schools where sports aren't as big of a deal.

Raquel

I notice how much more enriching my academic experience was at the U of M. I have a biological science background and now that I am graduated I realize how much more I was challenged at the U of M in a good way. You go to college to learn so you are competitive in the field you want to go into. If you were not challenged, you will be behind when you are looking for jobs and the U of M well prepared me for that.

Angie

I love the city that it's in, as well as the honors program.

I brag about the location because the University of Minnesota is located in the heart of the twin cities which houses excellent medical and research facilities, fantastic running/walking/biking trails, is home to some of the most friendly and diverse people you will ever meet.

The fact that the U of M is a city of its own within a large city that has so much available for each person to do. Also, with it being so large it is easy to find a way to make it your own - there are so many options here.

The size is great. I love the huge atmosphere of the school.

I tell my friends how much time I spend doing school work. It is a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it when I get to my career.

"Guys, there is a wild amount of opportunities for me to get out and perform my music: The Whole music club, many musicians who are excited to collaborate, and an entire downtown Minneapolis with an outrageously alive music scene."

Dan

The location and diversity offered by the very size of the school. We have everything on campus from experimental theater to traditional sports venues; from astromomy clubs to intra mural soccer events. If you are bored with campus the proximity to two great cities offers even more both for educational and entertainment . . . zoos, museums, clubs and places to just walk all on a beautiful river.
