University of Minnesota Twin Cities Reviews
Rating 3.77 out of 5 4,786 reviews
The UofM Twin Cities is an amazing public university! It offers just about any program you can think of and many of these programs are ranked extremely well in the United States, as well as around the world. Much of the faculty is involved in groundbreaking research, which enables students to be involved in research as well. The academic standards are rigorous but not too demanding to be successful. The location in the Twin Cities is wonderful for access to opportunities in the community for internships and partnerships. There are tons of student groups and activities for students to get involved in, which helps makes the large school feel smaller and offers opportunity to build a close knit community here. Having Division I sports means there is always a fun sporting event to go to, many of which are free for current students. There is a fair amount of diversity, although this is an area I would like to see growth in. I also would like to see a decrease in tuition costs.
Generally, I had a really good first year at the U of M in the 2022-2023 school year. I would say that the biggest problem that the U of M has is advisors that either are nonexistent for students or are not knowledgeable enough to be helpful. As a music and biology Honors student, I have had to fight to get the advice that I need. The School of Music is extremely disorganized in its planning for courses, registration help for students, and advising. They have not hired a new music advisor for the last year, so I have had to go at it alone because my biology advisor knows nothing about the music registration. Otherwise, their College of Biological Sciences has been well-run, and its Foundations courses are known for being some of the best in the nation. The research opportunities are abundant. Safety concerns are also abundant, so if you are planning on living on campus I would bring some pepper spray. I really enjoyed the marching band and sporting events as part of student life!
I absolutely love my school. Going in I was expecting to like it, but I didn't realize I would love it this much. I love that there are so many classes to choose from, so you can really find what you love. All of the classes I've taken so far have been good; some a little boring, but some that have been amazing. The campus is also beautiful. It's really big, so when I first started out I was thinking I would never know my way around. It took a little bit, but it's actually really easy. The thing I love most about the University of Minnesota is getting involved. I joined a lot of clubs and met cool people! I also LOVE going to sports (especially hockey!) and cheering them on. Being in the student section is actually so unreal and you really feel the school spirit. I guess one thing that was a little difficult for me was finding friends, since I was a commuting student. Luckily I had a couple friends I knew beforehand that also commute, so it was good to have them.
