High Tuition, Nice Facilities

Pretty good school. Almost all professors were really cool. Only issue was the tuition was a little higher than it should be, but the campus is really nice. Facilities were mostly new, outside of a few older classrooms.

Solid business education

The Carlson school of management is a great business school with many opportunities, even for international students. Overall, the U of MN is good. Campus safety can be improved. However, the weather here in MN can be quite extreme in the winter.
