If you are interested in meeting any of us U of MN redditors in meatspace, we have some meetups coming up. The location and date/time for each can vary, so keep an eye on the Upcoming Meetups at the top of the page.

Rules

Don't be a jerk

Assume best intent. Don't be mean to other Redditors. Don't harass or dox people. Be courteous, kind and interpret statements charitably.

Also, and I can't believe I have to say this, but anti-mask/COVID conspiracy, QAnon, and bigoted stuff is also a no-go on this sub and falls under this rule. Please take that elsewhere.

No hookup/FWB threads

Hookup threads should go in a different sub. There used to be MN/UMN specific ones, but they died. Create one and we'll put it here.

Incoming student questions go in the megathread

Are you an incoming freshman or a transfer student with questions about where you should live, what's around campus, or other stuff you want to figure out before you arrive? Instead of making a new post, please ask these questions in the incoming student megathread (when there is a megathread).

No Amazon referral links

Please don't post Amazon referral links here. People spam every college subreddit with these posts trying to get a couple of free months of Prime.

Northstar Dinkytown Experiences

Looking into Northstar Apartments in Dinkytown for the 25-26 school year. What are some people's honest opinions and experiences of it? Google and Yelp had a lot of good reviews but the negatives had very specific things that raised some flags. Thanks!

CSCI 2021 with which prof?

So I’m choosing my spring ‘25 classes and I was wondering, should I take CSCI 2021 with Jack Kolb or Andy Exley? This class has the reputation of being very difficult, and the professor can make or break the class so I’m trying to set myself up for success here. What has your experience been with either of these professors? How are the lectures, exams, etc

dual degrees - worth it?

hello, i just transferred here after spending two years getting an associate's degree and knocking out my generals at a community college. the financial aid and other grants available to me would comfortably accommodate getting two degrees, both of which would be in subjects I'm very passionate about, and both would apply to my career interests. As a transfer student, it's been brutal to get accepted into opportunities on campus. I think spending longer here would be beneficial for making connections. however, this would mean I spend six years total in undergrad (two at community college, four here). I'm justifying it to myself because i graduated highschool a year early and because it'd pretty much be free... but is it actually worth it?

Psychology B.S/Neuroscience B.S

Hello, I was looking for your experiences in either of these majors and what the coursework/profs/ is like, what you did like/did not. I like the Idea of the psychology major being generally considered easier, but favor the neuroscience degree for research experience. Both degrees are right within my point of interest.

Withdrawing from class making me for from full time to part time

Hello! I was thinking of withdrawing from a class, but I am a full time student right now. If I withdraw from it, it’ll make me part time - but I’m not sure how this would affect things. Did anyone else do this before, too? What changes would happen?

Resources for Food

hello, so i am in an unfortunate situation where i basically have no spare money to spend. my hours have been cut significantly and i have other bills that i cant not pay for, leaving food as something i cant afford. does anyone know any resources to help me in this situation?

i’ve applied for SNAP and it said they would call me and they haven’t, haven’t gotten anything in the mail either :/. i also don’t have a car, or really even money to spend on transportation, so i feel very stuck right now. any help would be appreciated, even meal ideas that are really cheap and can be stretched out.

thanks a lot!

Where do you keep your things during the summer?

International freshman here. During the summers I know that our contract ends, and we aren't allowed to keep the stuff in dorms but is there any way to keep it here till september? I'm concerned about this cuz I've got a lot of stuff that can't be taken home at once, if no other option, then I could take half of it home rn.

Injury in PE class

I got injured in my PE class like three weeks ago and I thought it would have gotten better by now (I've been following the RICE method and was absent from class this week), but it's gotten to the point where the pain is moving to other parts of my body. I unfortunately don't have insurance right now so I can't get medical advice but I am lost on whether I should withdraw from the class. Does anyone have experience with getting an injury in a PE class? Thanks in advance for any insight!

GoGopher Rental Application

Hi,

I'm filling out this required form from GoGopher to be able to receive a lease for the apartment I toured. I've gotten to the point of current employer and currently I do not have a job. I'm wondering what other people have done to be able to get past this since you are required to put a monthly income and other things. I do have a parent co-signing but that still doesn't let me "skip" this tab. Any advice would be helpful!

Seeking help. Any elevators with mirrors around the campus???

Hello, I am specifically interested in elevators where the entire back wall is taken up by a mirror, preferably not the side walls. Anyone know of this? This is for a short film btw. I have only found one so far:

Housing (on vs off campus)

Future gopher, entering in 2.5 years (2 year gap year). Between the options of living on campus, living nearby, or living with parents (25-35 mins away from campus), is there an obvious choice here? Not interested in going to the dining halls for all meals, need a kitchen. Not interested in parties, but would like to make friends. Thoughts?
