If one were to want to attend a state university, where would one want to go in order to be close to Woodland Hills so they could attend such a wonderful church with such a wonderful pastor and wonderful people (i.e., the St.Paulians on the board Wink

)? I am thinking of that as a possible school because I recently joined the army reserves and when I get done with all of my training I want to find a state school (the army covers up to 185 dollars per credit hour), and the St. Paul area would be an awesome opportunity because it has been a dream of mine to be able to attend Woodland Hills and just live in that area--I am from Northern Illinois off of lake Michigan, so I know what cold is Big Smile

)

Any info would be appreciated. Bandit

Blessings,

The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. There's two campuses, close together, one in Minneapolis and one in Saint Paul. The Saint Paul campus is agriculture, animal sciences and I think biology, stuff like that. Hydroponic tomatoes and pigs. (my daughter wants to go to their vet school)
Minneapolis has most everything else. For example, it has been rated the top school in the nation for Chemical Engineering.
I have a computer science degree from there.

What are you interested in?

Another option is Univ of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, which is 90 miles east of Saint Paul.

There's some toy schools around as well. Eyebrow

The University of Minnesota actually has more than just two campuses. There are several: St. Paul, Minneapolis, Mankato, Crookston, Duluth, Morris, etc.

If you want to go to a state college but don't want to be in classes with more than 300 people than I would highly recommend going to a smaller U of M campus. The main campus in the Twin Cities is VERY big and can be very intimidating. I have over 10 friends that went there last year, 8 of them have since transferred to different colleges. Believe me, going to the U of M is no fun at all. Even my friends that are still going there are miserable.

Check out either the one in Mankato or Duluth. Two of my friends are currently enrolled at Mankato and they love it. Another one of my friends is at Duluth and she likes it there as well. Both are a relatively short drive to the cities, so if you wanted to come to WHC on Sundays it wouldn't be too hard.

Just some things to consider. I'm not saying the main campus in the Twin Cities is horrible, I just know a lot of people who have had a rough time there.

You didn't have fun going there? I had lots of fun and met some great people there. Maybe you were in the wrong degree program.

Triskal,
That quote you have by Edward Burke beneath your signature...isn't the man's name EdMUND Burke? I always thought it was Edmund.

Hey I went to Bethel! The school has grown considerably larger than it was even just 6 years ago when I graduated, but it's still much smaller than a state school. Plus, it's closer to Woodland Hills than the U of M Mpls. campus. There are always the typical annoying cliques at a small campus like Bethel, but most people are decent enough to try to get to know you. I transferred there for my Junior and Senior years so I didn't have to go through the typical Bethel initiation on Freshmen Hill either. That hill scared me! Shock

I think you're right. When I first saw the quote it said it was from Edward Burke, but I just looked it up and it is in fact EDMUND Burke. Thanks for the correction. Smile
