See what students say:

Academics

“Great research opportunities,” and “phenomenal engineering programs” among other fantastic department, attract students to the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. “A top-ranked university in a beautiful city that has a lot of great job opportunities”—how could you resist? And, given its “large” size, it’s a virtual guarantee that “anyone can find what they want to do.” Even better, they university really makes an effort to “help students discover themselves.” An impressed psych major explains, “Our school pushes us to expand our horizons, to go outside of our comfort zones, and to try things that we never would have considered trying before.” And Minnesota deftly maintains “a small school feeing” amidst “an urban setting,” something many undergrads here value. By and large, Minnesota professors tend to be “approachable and are more than willing to take time out of their day to ensure you understand the material.” They are also “very knowledgeable” and “strive to make [the subject matter] exciting.” In short, “the University of Minnesota is a place with endless opportunity for those willing to discover their passions.”

Student Body

Given the university’s large undergraduate population, it’s rather difficult to put “[students] into one category.” Indeed, Minnesota truly manages to net “a wide variety of people.” A dental hygiene student confirms this stating, “We have so much diversity here, that it is hard to pinpoint a general student type.” And a mechanical engineering major quickly follows up, “Due to its size, everyone can find their niche and be free to express who they are.” That being said, undergrads report that most of their peers are “generally quite friendly and outgoing.” And everyone is “pretty willing to go out of their way for others, we are Minnesota nice after all.” Further, many “students are driven to succeed and to make the most of the vast opportunities offered by the UMN.” And a political science matter-of-factly asserts that a large number of students are “white, middle to upper middle-class Midwesterner[s], most likely hailing from Minnesota, Wisconsin, or the Dakotas.” Of course, at the very least, nearly all Minnesota undergrads can “fit in by bonding over how much [they] hate winter.”

Campus Life

Attending the University of Minnesota means that your life is likely be “full of variety.” Indeed, from “biking [and] outdoor games [to] reading in the park, going to the farmers market, attending events at Coffman or TCF Bank Stadium, or taking the green line down town to explore” undergrads here “can get involved in almost anything.” UMN also “hosts a lot of lectures and discussions with prominent figures” like Sandra Day O’Connor and the Dalai Lama. Further, as a member of the Big 10 conference, it’s no surprise that “sporting events are widely popular, even if we aren’t doing very well.” As if that wasn’t enough, “the Coffman building always has something going on—movies, book signings—and there are a ton of student groups to join, no experience necessary.” There is also a “thriving” Greek population on campus, and a social scene that also involves a handful of “house parties,” which typically feature “alcohol and lots of dancing.” And, of course, the Twin Cities themselves have “a lot going on!” As a political science student succinctly puts it, “If you’re bored on a weekend, then you’re not looking hard enough.”

Students Say

U of M Career Services is somewhat unique in that each college has its own career center catering to the specific needs of its students. While these centers are linked through a main Career Services office, the majority of the services available at U of M, such as advising, career fairs, and job search tools, are offered through the individual colleges. As such, “academic advising and career services differ from college to college,” but most students seem to be pleased with the quality of what is offered. One student reports that “my advisor and the career center are excellent guides,” and another states that, “I'm always getting emails [from] the career center, all on-campus jobs offer training for finding jobs after graduation, and the information on post grad options are extremely easy to find.” There are also resources available specifically for women, LGBT students, international students, and other demographic groups. According to the school, U of M alumni have founded over 19,000 companies. Out of graduates visiting PayScale.com, 52 percent report feeling as though they derive a high level of meaning from their careers.

Sustainability

If you’re interested in applying sustainable strategies at the interface of science, technology, business, and public policy, the University of Minnesota may be the place for you. A number of student groups with a sustainability focus already exist on campus; these provide opportunities for learning and to be involved in the campus community. A number of University organizations carry out research into sustainability practices and make students a part of their team. One of the participating organizations, the Water Resources Center, educates both students and the community by funding research, partnering with local farmers, and providing opportunities for students to work directly with professionals in the water resources field. The University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment offers a sustainability minor, one of the first sustainability minors in the country. The institute sponsors Frontiers in the Environment, a professional lecture series, offers opportunities for research, and sponsors the Acara Challenge courses which awards funding to student-led social ventures that aim to improve global water, food, transportation, and other quality of life issues. Lectures and seminars hosted by the Institute in the Environment are often free and open to students and the public and speakers have included major figures in academia, business leaders, and environmental activists. Other programs include: River Life, The University of Minnesota’s Recycling Program, the “It All Adds Up” campaign to reduce emissions, and Helmets and Headlights, which provides bicycle equipment to the campus community for an affordable price. The university is also a member of the Founding Circle for the “Billion Dollar Green Challenge, ” which encourages participating colleges and universities to collectively invest a total of $1 billion in self-managed revolving funds that finance energy efficiency improvements.
