U. Minnesota- Twin Cities is the flagship state university
for Minnesota. The campus is located in both St. Paul and Minneapolis. The
cities are divided by the Mississippi River. There are walking bridges and
campus shuttles to transport students back and forth across the important
waterway.
Because Minnesota can be pretty chilly in they have a skyway which allows students to comfortably navigate the campus buildings during the colder days and nights. This reminded me of the tunneling system in Montreal Canada, where McGill University resides.

Major:
As her gently petted Gussy, he said “Animal Science and I'm pre-vet.”
Animals Science is tin the CFAN (College of Agriculture, Food, and Animal, Nutritional Science).
Why did you choose to attend UMN?
“I applied to a few other schools, but I always wanted to
come here. I've been spending time on campus as a member of the UMN Swim Camp
for years.” |
| While walking down the fraternity row at UMN we came across two friendly students relaxing on their fraternity patio. Matt and Evan assuredly broke the old negative stereotypes which can often be associated with university Greek Life. They were both thoughtful, bright, and excited to help me learn more about UMN. |

Why did you choose to attend this school:
