[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US news has Minnesota ranked at 70, that seems high to me: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/university-of-minnesota-twin-cities-3969/overall-rankings

DD#1 is a junior at University of Wisconsin; I feel like they were much closer ranked a few years ago when she was applying. [/quote]

I’m surprised that UW hasn’t dropped after all those years of governor Walker. I know that budgets have been tight and programs cut, since I have friends on faculty there.[/quote]
No, they just moved up. And Minnesota was never ranked anywhere near Wisconsin. Most of the kids in Minnesota would rather go to Wisconsin. [/quote]

PP here, I should correct myself. I meant that seemed like a low rank (high number) for Minnesota.  I would expect UMN to be in the 50s.  DD visited both Minnesota and Wisconsin, the campus vibe and town of Madison were way better.

Maybe Wisconsin has weathered the Walker storm, DD hasnt felt any ill effects (locked out of classes, etc) and they are building a bunch on campus.  She doesnt mind the cold but it took some getting used to in that she had to buy the right clothes/layers. She says she likes having dramatically different seasons. [/quote]
