My experience with the University of Minnesota so far has been excellent. There are many things that I enjoy about the school, some examples being the location and campus of the school, the challenging four year nursing program that is offered to incoming freshman, and the countless activities that one can participate inside and outside of school grounds. The location of the University of Minnesota is great because you are in the center of Minneapolis and there are plenty of things to do everyday such as museums, sporting events, and concerts. The campus and architecture is beautiful and gives students a wonderful university feel. The nursing program is awesome because it admits you immediately as a freshman and begins your career preparation right away! There are so many different clubs and activities that are available to all students at the U such as art clubs, book clubs, and intermural sports. I would not change one thing about this university!
I absolutely loved my experience at UMN. I met great people, had lots of access to research, internship and mentorship opportunities on campus and in the Twin Cities, and had a rigorous and challenging academic experience. Gopher Gamedays were also a blast! The only things I would change are diversity - we are a mostly white campus - and the sensitivity of faculty members, especially tenured ones. I encountered one faculty in the Spanish department who refused to help me with my senior thesis because it was about LGBTQ rights.
I love it here at the University of Minnesota. I think the campus is beautiful, and I have loved exploring the surrounding area as well. There are, of course, some things that can be frustrating, such as the food and the dorms, but I have had an otherwise overwhelmingly positive experience. The majority of my professors have been kind and caring, and the environment that has been created for me has really helped me grow. I have been able to really explore aspects of my personality that were otherwise untouched, all in a supportive environment that encourages reflection and progress. I love it here!
