I want to be part of a club where i can just chill , main idea is to find folks to play some cod zombies and chill , this is the vibe I am going for . Ya know , club big enough to get funding from the U for events and stuff but small enough where everyone knows each other . Pretty much a chill frat without any dues and shit .

I’ve checked out alot of the band programs that the U has, like the Pep Band that I’ll be auditioning for and I signed up for the Gold Campus Band, but I haven’t found any info on any theater stuff here. I played in the pit orchestra for a few musicals at my high school, so I’m interested in learning about whether there are any theater programs at the U or in the area that have pit orchestras I could look into.

I haven’t been able to attend a Medical Plan Changes Zoom until today. LOVE 🙄 that the chat is disabled and questions aren’t visible to all. Was that the same for earlier sessions? Tell me you can’t take the heat…

I'm going to be in yudof and figuring out what I need to bring. I'm going to be cooking my own food and not buy a meal plan. if needed could I reliably borrow certain pots or pans if I don't bring one? I will likey food prep so I'll make a lot every once in a while so I won't be doing too much cooking.

Hi! Does anyone know when the ReUse Center Open Closet is happening during Welcome Week this year?

I remember in previous years they brought out boxes of donated/reused stuff from past students to Coffman, and students could just come by and take whatever they wanted. I think it was usually on a Thursday during Welcome Week.

Does anyone know the exact date/time for this year? Maybe incoming students or Welcome Week leaders have heard about it. Thanks!

has anyone taken one or both of these courses? is one easier than the other? im currently enrolled in algebra but ive done some intro analysis and algebra work and i found analysis to be slightly easier to understand in my opinion but im not sure about switching to analysis since the only section that works with my schedule is with a postdoc that has no reviews. any feedback advice would be useful!

I’m a student and will be visiting UMN for a month later this fall. I’m super excited! I have a couple questions -

1. What are the Twin Cities like? What do people mainly use for transportation? Is the area safe? What should I know about the area?

2. Being from the South, I’ve never really experienced true winter 😅 what are some things I should know and be prepared for? What are some items I should invest in? Is it normal to dress in layers and strip them down to business casual for the office?

3. Are there any places that offer temporary leases that you would recommend? Or any living arrangements/locations that might be especially convenient?

4. ETA - what is the culture like? What do people like to do for fun?

TIA - really appreciate the help!

Hi, I'm planning to (hopefully) transfer to the U this spring after finishing my associates at normandale. Considering my GPA stats (and my MNCAP application), im pretty much preparing to be a student at u of mn this coming spring.

My question is that how difficult is it to make friends as a junior? Ive had many visits to the u of mn and i've LOVED it, but covid really handicapped me socially in a way i only recovered from very recently. ive started making actual friends but i really do want to also have them at u of mn

if it helps, i am turning 20, black, and also queer. Ive lived in Minnesota since i was 7 so I know how the social climate generally is, so im wondering if its better/worse.

Is there anyone here who is in the Integrated Degree Program (IDP)? The benefit of this program is to allow students who are ahead of their degree progress to be enrolled into the school's graduate program while still being an undergrad and allow 16 out of 31 graduate credit to be taken at undergraduate tuition rate.

My question is if I am still finishing my undergrad and I am taking a total of 19 graduate credit that would count towards the IDP, because of the 16 credit limit would the school allow this?

I'm 20, no parents, currently living in a homeless shelter in MN. I did my first two years at an online MN community college while living in the shelter and working at the same time. I got accepted to transfer into University of Minnesota Twin Cities and I also got the North Star Promise Scholarship, so my tuition and fees are fully covered.

The thing I still have to figure out is room and board. It's about $15K a year, so $30K total for two years. I'll have $10K saved up by the time I start.

I'm considering taking out $20K in federal loans total to cover the rest. I know off campus housing would probably be cheaper, but I honestly don't know how doable that is for me right now given my situation.

Does $20K in federal loans sound reasonable for my situation, or should I be pushing harder to figure out off campus or other options first? Any advice helps

Edit: Majoring in CS

Hi I’m a transfer student transferring to the U this fall semester. I have work study and I urgently need to get a job on campus by the end of the week. I’ve applied to around 15-20 jobs over this weekend. I’m curious on how long they take to respond and how hard/ competetive is it to get a student job here since the school is kind of big. Should I be applying to more jobs?

Saw this on handshake and was wondering if anyone has experience or knows anything about it?
This is on the page and it looks pretty good, but I heard bad things about the company.

Special to the Pre-Med and Pre-PA internship track, you'll have the opportunity for shadowing through Bluestone Physician Services. Because of our connections at Mayo Clinic, all interns are given the opportunity to join us on a “field trip” to the Mayo Clinic where you're given a behind the scenes tour, networking with physicians, glimpses into their labs, and more. Upon completing the internship, you’ll receive a letter of recommendation from Jim Nelson, PHD and CEO of ACR Homes. 

Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I’m just on here to ask about when we will officially know how much tuition is. I have seen the estimated tuition but not the official one.

I’ve tried going to onestop, looking online, and the portal but I can’t find anything. I also have not received any mail or emails about the cost of tuition.

When do we officially know how much tuition is?
