how did it go

@@lilytrx7276 Hey there, I forgot about this comment lol. It went pretty well, I made friends with 3 guys I'm moving into an apartment with next week actually!

@@jacorp7476 nice, any advice, academics or in general

@@lilytrx7276 If you have an option between watching your lectures on Zoom and going in person, make sure you go in person since you can meet people that way and it's better for your mental health. I made the mistake of not going to lectures in person for a while in the winter and I eventually got pretty behind on watching lectures. It was pretty stressful for me to catch up after that and I didn't do as well as I had hoped that semester.

For the first part I think I answered it for Koala Mama better than I can restate. Second part: Yes, but it's a high traffic area on the levels on/below the mall area. You'd want to go up one level or to a library for some more quiet.

It was a while ago so I don't remember. Sorry.

What did you get?

Very good. Like rankings change, but when I applied in 2011 it was I believe top-15 in the country.

First part: Are you talking about Casa Sol or some other Living Learning Community? Not important, just curious. Second part: I didn't try because I thought it'd be pretty much impossible. I think you're best bet is looking up dorms with single rooms and applying. You'd be randomly assigned either way. But yeah, there's a ton of students, so it is pretty tough.

I'd put good money on that video existing. Not really a Minnesota-specific twist I could put on it.

None required, but look at what the program you're applying for typically accepts. No sure-fire way to know for certain, but there should be sites that can get you in the ballpark.

I was around a 3.5, I believe. That's for sure not the only thing looked at, though.

Mateo Fischer what else do they look at, I want to major in chemistry, I don't know what particularly yet

I would say make friends that are you and not. Make sure you're not just making friends from your country and not just have friends from the USA. Having a mix for different situations will work in your favor.

Wendy Lee Just be yourself

Sorry since you've already decided, but if you came here, it is definitely a good one. It is well connected I guess is the advantage over say Ohio, which is in Columbus and you can't just go downtown to work for a professional team while in school.

Garageband. It's a Final Cut Pro X song.

+Pixinerd Sport Management.

+flyingboat Honestly got the UMN acceptance letter before any other school and at that point was pretty sure I wouldn't be going here. Then I got accepted into all of the other schools I applied to and looked a little deeper, liked it more and more, and came here.

flyingboat yeah me too did you end up going?

Same I’m surprised I like it more than any prestigious schools I applied to

+Paige Abigail I got accepted too! I'm probably applying for the Mark G. Yudof Hall. How about you?

+Paige Abigail I'm actually sitting in a really nice one right now. It's the 17th Ave one. It's the third year for it, but I've only heard good things about it. If you want to be right in the middle of campus, the dorm to pick is Comstock, but it's also the oldest dorm on campus. My personal favorite for food is Middlebrook, but it's kinda isolated from everything. Not as isolated as Bailey Hall, though, which is where I lived, but I really liked it, honestly. It's on the St. Paul campus which meant having to take a bus to campus, but it was really quiet and let me get away from things.

+Mateo Fischer Are the buses expensive?

+Michelle Chou Did not know that was an option for freshman. Maybe it's changed, but that was always on-campus apartments as long as I've known it. I had a friend who lived there and liked it. It's right in the middle of campus (next to Comstock, which I referred to in my reply to Paige's comment.

+Mateo Fischer Yeah, the information on Yudof Hall says that incoming first-year students are allowed to live there. Except I'm not sure how I'm supposed to know which hall to choose yet because I don't really know what classes I'm going to take..

+dipro001 You mean like East Bank? I guess that's my official answer.

+Kylethecreater88 I'll paraphrase the first one, but I think the second one depends on if you're the kind of person that wants to join a frat/can afford to do so. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing; it is a great thing for many students when they join a frat, but it doesn't apply universally.

Thanks. Which ones were you told about? Because I only applied for one job as of recently and I decided not to apply for an internship with the campus newspaper since my schedule is already going to be full enough.

Me too. It really is a shame.

He'll get in eventually. I don't think the BBWAA will keep him out for another 13 years. I think they're just anti-Mets.

+alk61695 You called it. He's in now

I know

A couple of people have mentioned him as being a possible unanimous selection, but I honestly don't know at all how he could be a unanimous selection because he is 1. A part of the big, bad Yankees that 95% of the country loves to hate. 2. Never one an MVP award in his career and thus never demonstrated "dominance" during his time in the sport. and 3. Was a very overrated defensive player during his career. I actually kind of think that his teammate Mariano Rivera is more of a nationally-lovable character than Derek, but I'm pretty sure he won't get in unanimously since there are people who don't believe any relief pitchers should be in the Hall of Fame because they hold the belief that they're just failed starters. I actually think that the most likely to get a unanimous selection of anyone coming up is Ken Griffey Jr. I know I just broke my rule of picking an "active" player, but I think if he played in an era besides the "steroids" era, he might be unanimous, or at least the highest vote-getter ever.

Wow this so creative and real!!!! I love it...I'll be joining for fall 2022
