University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Top Questions

They are nice? I don't actually know...

Everyone is from in-state, we're all white and talk with the Fargo accent. We're crazy about hockey.

People tell you coming to the U that the class sizes are huge and that none of the professors speaks English. They'll say that the campus is huge, that you'll get lost and that it's dangerous.

Not quite sure... I have gathered, though, that getting into the PSEO program(high school juniors/seniors take college courses for both high school and college credit) at the UMN makes people assume you're really, really smart. Another, slightly lesser-known stereotype is that Carlson School of Management Students are notoriously Type A, competitive, and fixated on getting high grades.

Everyone thinks that the University of Minnesota is "so big" and that all the classes are filled with thousands of students and that no instructors will give a student any individual attention.

The campus is too big. You are just a number.

Many people think that the University of Minnesota is such a big school and that a student will get lost with everyone else.

Stereotypes? Before I came to Minnesota, I believed that Minnesota people, especially students were very friendly hippies. Not complete hippies, but the type of hippies that want to save the world by saving the environment. Kind of like the people of San Francisco.

Openminded, casual, polite, helpful

You're just a number. A lot of the kids are stuck-up, spoiled, rude...etc. You get a great education and experience. The campus is beautiful but most people never see the whole thing because of it size.
