[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC would tell you that the urban setting of the school is a large part of the appeal. DC enjoys getting off campus and having more interesting things to do than walk around a suburb. He went to the Guthrie twice and some other theatre venues, as well.

We have been happy with the quality of DCs education. They must be doing something right because[b] so many end up settling in the Twin Cities after graduation.[/b][/quote]

Was just talking with DS about it as an option for his list and this was one of the positives to consider.  He doesn't think he wants to live in DC after college because of the soaring cost of living while the Twin Cities are a very livable, affordable city with a strong job market.

We have family in the Cities, including two of my cousins' kids happily attending UM, and I keep seeing it come up on lists of schools with good applied math/statistics programs (what he wants to major in) so I think he'll be applying and he'll have to decide if he's up for the cold winters.  He's come with me on family visits a few times but not in the winter.  He definitely prefers cold to hot but I think if we visit the U, we'll do it in winter so he gets a good taste of it.[/quote]

He would apply to CSE, right?  Although UMN is enormous, the CSE only has about 5k kids and they are fairly segregated administratively from the rest of the school.  The students in CSE are top notch.
