Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I transferred to the University of MN in the Spring of 04' I am a lover of art and quickly enrolled in the University of Minnesota's CLA program. This was after I discovered I did not have the money to attend MCAD. I quickly realized my mistake. Their basic drawing classes are populated by arrogant, self absorbed instructors who would rather have their students painting or drawing about suicide and eating disorders then learn something as valuable as foreshortening and balance. So I spent my entire student life pandering to these egotistical ass-hats rather than actually learning anything. The University of MN is also very lacking in any computer based Art classes. There is a 3D animation class that I attended (assuming they haven't cut the program) and had an awesome time, but that is but one diamond in a huge mountain of ****. Photoshop is practically unused, and the imacs the University uses are not able to fully handle the weight of the programs they run. The one thing I discovered that just made me giddy with how badly things are run at the UMN is how they have their colleges separated. You see they decided that if a student wanted to use programs like Indesign, or Photoshop, that they must want to be Design majors, and should enroll at the design college. What makes me so angry about that is that if you are enrolled in the Design college, you can take regular drawing and painting classes from the CLA college, but if you are enrolled in the CLA college, you CAN NOT take classes through the Design college unless you want another 4 year commitment. If you love modern art, and other liberal tripe, then the UMN is perfect for you. If you want to be an actually talented artist and learn skills that will help you make a living doing something you love, then go somewhere else. All I can say is I wish I'd gone to MCAD.

People with an interest in business should absolutely not go here. The peer group is close minded, socially inept, faculty are uncaring, acedemics are marginal at best, the finance courses use 1970's theory and actually is "wrong". In the New York and Chicago banking communities - the UofM is viewed negatively. Your alumni do not want to reconnect with the school due to repeated negative social interations when at the school. Please..... stop misrepresenting the school as a good choice for an MBA or undergraduate education. Perceived Campus Safety: A, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

And yes, the advisors are complete shit here, I wish the better business bureau or something could review them, they are that bad. If you KNOW you want to be a Chem. engineer, or other research driven career, by all means go here. But if you need any help from your major's department, just forget it. They truly do not care what you want to do, or how to help you achieve your goals. This is my junior year, and I'm trying to get into some internships and looking at grad school and have received ZERO help from the advisors. I should note though, that although the support services here are just awful, the teaching staff truly has some great people working to teach you. I've had great experiences with the language professors, as well as the Biology department. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?
