The entire University considers hands-on research a vital part of the education process, which gives you a unique experience not found at many other institutions of higher education.
Will enjoy being here
Minnesotans are by far some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Expect random discussions about the weather, an exciting camping trip, religion, or what was consumed for dinner every time you get on the bus or go for a walk. It does get very chilly in the winter, but with proper layering you'll come to love the beauty of a northern winter and the crisp, clean air it provides.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
As research is so vital, it presents more opportunities than most other colleges in terms of summer jobs, publication, and that special something for your grad school application. In- and out-of-state tuition are relatively close, but low enough that it is affordable and maintains a high quality of teaching and services to its students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early, make sure you go to the financial aid website and submit any scholarship applications you're eligible for, and buy a winter coat! Expect to work hard, but see results extending past your GPA into the academia of your chosen field.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Entrepreneurs, polar bears, innovative scientific minds, those who love to find the answers to their questions, and people who enjoy an intellectual relationship with their professors and peers.
