One good thing about the U is that there is a wide selection of majors, many of which are top-rated programs. There are a wide variety of classes This is a very large school, and if you're new, it can be hard to know where to find resources. But there are many availible if you're independent enough to search for them yourself. Some things that I'm unhappy about is that there's no feeling of community here, not enough school spirit. It is also annoying that there is continual construction. New buildings are good, but this school never finishes the projects they're doing before they start new ones. Not to mention that it's our rising tuition paying for all these projects. Financial aid also favors freshmen over upper-classmen and then the school wonders why over 50% of all students graduate in five or six years. Campus life is sort of low key for the most part, but there are many options in the twin cities to make up for it. Overall, not a bad school, but it's certainly not the best in the big ten.
