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.

How do waitlists work?

Is it possible to be on the waitlist for two different classes that overlap with each other?

I have most of my schedule registered, so moving those around aren’t options anymore. There are two overlapping courses I can take for my final requirement and I am already registered for one but on a waitlist.

In case I don’t get this one, I wanted to get on the waitlist for the other to increase my chances. Ideally if I get into one of them, the system would unenroll me from the other so that other people can move up the waitlist too. Otherwise I’d unenroll myself from the other.

Is this possible? I emailed OneStop already but they take some time to respond. I just wanted to ask here first in case registering for the other class would remove me from the other waitlist.

Thanks!

For those of you in a club/student group, why do you love it?

Please share the club you’re in, where you guys meet, and why you enjoy it!

Navigating gopher link/the U website can be a challenge (it is for me at least), especially with the amount of inactive clubs and out of date information! I (and I’m sure others) would love to check out your clubs! :)

What's my chances of getting accepted?

Hello fellow students of UMN. I'm a senior in highschool and is scared of whether I'm going to get rejected by the UMN. A big part of me is deciding to not even apply because I feel like I know I'm going to get rejected.
I have:

I was a PSEO student at North Hennepin (3.05 GPA) my Junior Year and PSEO student at Anoka Ramsey (GPA not given yet) my senior year.

16 on the ACT

Highschool GPA: 2.67 UW (2.73 W)
(Not sure if this would help boost my chance but I am a female who wants to either major in architecture or Electrical engineering.)

What’s up with Crookston having a lower acceptance rate than TC?

TC seems way more competitive in every aspect and the average SAT score is lower at Crookston so im wondering what’s up with Crookston denying all these people. Was anyone here denied from Crookston but accepted to TC? just seems weird to me.

skipping to Calc 1

I'm a PSEO student who signed up for PreCalc 1, but I'm realizing that I should have just tried to test into Calc 1 from the beginning. If I sign up for the class for the Spring semester without meeting the prerequisites, what should I do to get in? Thank you in advance!

Would anyone be interested in a Pro-Life Student Org? I am simply wondering if there are any other prolife students on campus.

Looking for friends! (spring 2025)

As the title says, I am transferring in the spring of 2025. I am moving in late December and have an apartment with a roommate. My roommate is the same age as me, 23M. However, he has graduated from the U. I plan on getting involved through either intermural sports or clubs, or both. I know a lot of other people have been having this feeling of wanting to make friends but not feeling able to because of social anxiety etc... I am planning on really making an effort, but worry that my age, will make it more difficult. I will be a Junior this semester and am mostly excited but slightly nervous about going to a school and not knowing anyone. I suppose this is a long winded way of saying does anyone have any suggestions? Or is anyone else in a similar situation and interested in connecting?

TLDR: transfering to a the U where I don't know other students, any advice? Or suggestions?

looking for short-term sublease

I am moving to Minneapolis for an internship and looking for a sublease for a furnished place. If someone in UMN is looking for renting out, please let me know. Also what are good FB groups for housing/renting where people respond quickly.

Why are there so many closed courses?

I just cleared my advisor hold on spring registration and now that I am registering, I am seeing that several classes I need to take are waitlisted or closed. What am I supposed to do?

Hi!

I need help looking for someone to interview for a news story about different voices in MN, but it can't be someone from the U of M campus. I was planning to interview someone from the Jewish community so if you know someone, Let me know!

arts generals recs

I need any course recommendations that can knock out the arts/humanities lib ed. I’m considering taking ARTS 1701 intro to photography since it’s something I find interesting but I heard the intro to ARTS courses are time consuming.

Easy class to fill requirements/interesting

Boynton Question

Hello, about two days ago I started feeling pain my tailbone area above my buttocks, and ever since then there has been a big bump and extreme pain when I sit and walk, and I’m just worried it’s an ingrown hair or pilondial cyst, I’m thinking about going to boynton but would they even be able to do anything? I’m in extreme pain and need to know asap.

Needing an honest answer

I'm in state with about a 3.1 gpa and a 31 on my ACT. I'm applying to liberal arts Environmental geoscience (maybe looking at a transfer but unsure) and I have no idea what my chances look like since my gpa is lower. I wrote a solid essay and have some extracurriculars, although nothing insanely impressive. I also haven't taken any AP classes since neither of the high schools I've been to have offered them. Do I have a shot?

Difference between GEOG and ESPM 1425?

Hi all, is there a big difference between GEOG 1425 and ESPM 1425? They seem like the same class, but is one more rigorous than the other?
