Can Always Count on the Fans

Despite a range of season records ranging from Football to Hockey, Gopher fans are proud of their teams and always there to support them at home games. The campus really turns maroon and gold. Facilities are excellent, especially the new stadium.

Party, Party, Party

There are almost always plenty of frat parties every week, and that's what everyone talks about going to. Hardly anyone goes to a club. They're all within walking distance, which is convenient.

U of MN students are supported

The students at the University of MN are supported and encouraged to be part of the community. The Gopher games are watched by many and tickets sell fast! I know that there is always something to occupy my free time after the homework is finished. We are close to the Mall of America in case we want to do some shopping or there are multiple museums and movie theaters to visit.
