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

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.
Todd
The location, because there is everything you possibly need close by. Also, having the 2 different campuses gives a perfect home for anyone.
Lauren
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.
Megan
Diversity and the ability to develop your own path.
Kara
The community that can be built within any organization, discipline, or small group is one of the best things about the University of Minnesota. So many of the students want to be here and learn that it is very easy to find friendships throughout the school. Organizations are eager to adopt new members and welcome them into their unique atmosphere. Each group has their own culture to share with students and the students that take part in that culture are changed for life.
Sam
The openness and involvement of all students.
Rebecca
The best thing about my school is its ability to come together as a community.
Katherine
The size of my school allows for social opportunities as well as facilities to help advance student's educations. The size allows for a great deal of funding for a great deal of clubs and organizations that satisfy students cultural, spiritual, or athletic needs. Also, because the University is so large there's always somewhere to study like the many libraries or little cafes around campus. The size also allows for a lot of school spirit when it comes to varsity sports such as hockey, basketball, football, wrestling, etc. The size allows for satisfactory educations and social lives.
Harold
Fun, diverse, big, and yet small. Lots of diversity. Focus toward student sucess.
Elisabeth
The atmosphere because it feels like a college campus but we're very close to a city with tons of opportunities for careers and entertainment.
Carina
The offering of programs and the strong alumni ties. Especially in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, there was a great feeling of community. The professors really cared, and still do care, about what each of their students have been doing.
Karlie
I think the best thing about the University of Minnesota is it's diversity. There are several majors and minors that can accompany any person looking for further education. In addition, there are an endless number of activities, social clubs, sports, and study groups that can make the experience at the U the best it can be. This University allows for interaction with people from different countries and cultures making it a truly unique experience!
Alexander
The culture. All students that attend here can find something that they can be involved in and enjoy. The many diverse cultures represented on this campus make it a unique place.
Andrew
The number and variety of academic, educational, social, and community involvement programs that are offered.
