[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school is bifurcated very much between local Minnesotan/Upper Midwest kids and full freight foreign students. It's like two different worlds. Tons of very rich Chinese kids.

Those who tend to do well after school tend to stick around Minneapolis. Tons of local companies recruit from there - Target, 3M, Cargill, etc. My friends who went there both work in finance in Minneapolis - one is a senior exec in private equity, the other is a partner with a brokerage. Their lifestyles are really awesome. However, the local networks really come into play in Minneapolis. It's still a very small place.[/quote]

I think there is some truth in this, although my OOS DMV kid is thriving there.  He is probably a Midwesterner at heart and does believe that this is where the growth will be in this country over the next decades.  The place does have a more local feel than a state school with more OOS domestic students (as noted above), but there are still large numbers of OOS kids and MSP is a bigger place than the PP believes.

There are tons of rich Chinese kids everywhere.

As for national reach: there are gophers everywhere you go and the school tends to be highly regarded like other well-financed state flagships.
