With many high school seniors making their college decisions right now I wanted to take the time to blog about my University, The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I transferred here in August, and I don't regret my decision at all. I love it here, it feels like home. The U of M is a large school 51,147 students to be exact. However to me it does not feel that big because I spend most of my time in Moos Tower aka the School of Dentistry building.
My view from Moos Tower. Isn't the it beautiful? You can see downtown Minneapolis and the trees along the banks of the Mississippi River.
Here are my pros and cons of the U of M.
Pros:
- Beautiful campus
- Lots of public transportation (I take a bus to school everyday)
- Lots of activities
-Cute mascot and school colors
- Top research university
- World recognized
- Outstanding health professional programs
-Good Greek life
-Vibrant urban setting
This list could go on and on...
Cons:
-Lots of traffic!
- More expensive than a state university
- Large- it can take a lot of time to travel between classes
Best,
