This college is very large and therefore you shouldn't expect a lot of personal attention from the administration or certain professors. A few general lecture classes (chemistry, biology), are huge, 400 or more people. However, you get to be kind of anonymous this way, which can be nice. I would recommend this school because you have a variety of subjects to choose from when deciding a major; you aren't limited at all. If I had to choose again, I would still attend this school, provided I got in-state tution; paying out of state tution would be too much money for not enough return. And just so you know, Minneapolis and St. Paul are awesome cities, with plenty to do; they're not hick towns in the middle of nowhere! |

When considering a college you want to go to think about what you are interested in, whether the college offers things that you need, the amount of money it costs, and if you like the location. All of the students that I know that attended the University of Minnesota stayed in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I recommend beginning to work right when you enter college. It is never to early to build a resume, and it will really help you in the end. Study hard, but don't forget that job skills are just as important. If I had to do this over again, I would still choose the University of Minnesota. It is a very large campus, and some people feel lost and overwhelmed. If you like feeling anonymous, this is the place for you. If you need a tight community, join a club. The University of Minnesota offers many activities, and if you don't find what you need, make your own club. I have done this and met many friends through this club. |

I earned a JD from the law school at University of Minnesota. The school was very academically focused, so perhaps other schools are better if you like a practical approach that includes the nitty-gritty how-to of filing cases. The practical details, of course, are only of interest to those who will practice in the immediate geographical area, so the broader perspective of the University of Minnesota Law School attracts a more intellectually diverse student body.
The professors are nationally or internationally known and it was a pleasure to attend their lectures. Many of them move to other schools, so you have a broad base of contacts when you graduate. For example, Daniel Farber moved on to teach in California. The faculty also publishes prolifically, so you can find relevant material in your law practice or in teaching that was authored by familiar experts - a real time saver in research! I have used material by my former professors Philip Fricke, Daniel Farber, Irving Younger, David Weissbrodt, and Suzanna Sherry in teaching and practice. It's a great place to confront new ideas, get a great understanding of law, and study with legendary professors. The student publications are excellent as well.
The Twin Cities offer a stimulating environment as well. Restaurants, plays, lectures, shopping, concerts. The law school is beside the river, a beautiful location, and convenient to access. The only downside was the pricey law school parking. The nearest lot is small, though others are just a short walk away. |

I feel very neutral about the University of Minnesota. It can feel like a big machine if you're not a very independent person to begin with. There are many pros, namely, you will have an incredible amount of options to choose from (majors, courses, restaurants, hang-out spots). You're minutes from downtown and there are lots of beautiful people on campus. However, for the most part, students at the U of M are pretty average. Not particularly intelligent, nor charismatic. I would recommend the University of Minnesota but with a shrug--It's a good school and you'll get what you paid for (for the most part), but it's nothing special that you can't find elsewhere. |

I've also went to MCTC and FRCC for my undergradute degrees, so I can compare to other schools.
The U of MN is one of the largest, and in some reports, THE largest public University in North America. The Twin Cities campus is the main one. It's an awsome campus with a great view, though it is pricey to live on campus and the cost of parking is outrageous. The campus has it's own bus system that shuttles you from one end to the other, or from Minneapolis to the St. Paul campus. It's safe, clean, but BIG. The recreational facilities are second to none.
The classes foir undergraduates are huge, which was new to me when I started there. But the proffesors seem to take their jobs seriously, and with all the people there: there is also a lot of talent at the U of MN. The best part about it is that you can do ANYTHING you want there: if you want a degree in it, they have a department in it. And the resources available to you as progress are amazing.
However: if you don't like winter, cold weather, and like 'fun in the sun', Minnesota is not for you. There's snow on the ground almost half the year here sometimes, and during January and Febuary it gets to 40 below on a regular basis. I love Minnesota, I've lived a lot of places but now, I'm happy here. The people are nice and polite, and a lot more soft spoken and less obnoxious than they are on the coasts. On the other hand, if you are not a polite person, I think it sticks out here more than it would elsewhere. I love the UofMN but living in MN: it's REALLY not for everyone. |
