Faster turnaround and better offer than Pitt. Higher ranked for engineering but Pitt probably offers better research opportunities.
If it remains one of her better offers, we'll visit in March.
Similar situation. DC applied and got offers making it cheaper than in-state. Minnesota has a great teaching hospital and research opportunities for my kid. DC has also made great friends and is loving it.
It is cold, but she got proper outerwear to make it work.

We have lots of family in Minneapolis and elsewhere in the state. Minnesotans are the nicest people. The fact that they are this pi$$ed off really says something.
They are also known to easily eat green beans out of a can in one sitting, ugh. It is so nice weather wise during late spring and summer and early part of fall

They have tons of respect for law enforcement there! Just no respect for gestapo crazies
I would not visit or consider it until Ice jerks are cleared out. Too dangerous.
Yeah, so much respect for the rule of law that they've burned their city twice in the last 5 1/2 years.

If you are up there and willing to look at a few Liberal Arts colleges, do so. Macalaster. Carleton 45 min away. St Olaf.

I went there and didn’t recommend it for my kids. Nothing wrong with it, there are just so many better options. MInneapolis isn’t what it was when I was there.

Great early rolling option for a high-stats DMV kid.

A couple of my cousin's kids went there and were very happy with they experience and have good jobs after graduating. They live in MN and the kids work in the Twin Cities.
I'd have been happy to have DS go there but he opted to stay closer to home. I think it should be considered by more kids - has things that are popular like Big 10 and an urban location. If the weather was better it would be more popular.

Any experience with it? (Yes, I know the Twin Cities are cold)
