New Home Away from Home
Living on campus at the University of Minnesota is definitely the way to go. The dorms are relatively nice - well, mine is anyways! (Comstock Hall) It's definitely nice to be able to be right down there on campus and not have to commute from home or elsewhere. Although it may be costly, I feel the benefits far outweigh the consequences. Also, living on campus introduces you to many people who you never would have met had you not lived on campus!

Watch Out!
The campus police are fairly strict about various policies that are in place regarding academics and social scenes. If you get caught doing something that is in violation of the rules set in place, be prepared to suffer some consequences. This is definitely one thing I enjoy about the U of M. Violators should have to suffer the consequences! Or they will never learn.

What's Financial Aid?
I thought that since I was going to a rather large school that I would get at least a sufficient amount of financial aid to help pay the hefty tuition bill that they are so kind to charge me. I was definitely wrong. I got a grand total of $500 for the entire year. Having always been an above average student in high school, but by far not the best student in terms of grades, I was hoping I would at least qualify for a few scholarships through the school. It appeared that unless you had a 4.0 GPA coming out of high school, you were not eligible for anything except the UPROMISE scholarship that they so happen give to everyone that makes under $100,000/year for income. Well, I'm sorry but $500 is not going to help much... It actually only pays for one semester's worth of books.
