ebee Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Is anyone going to either of these? I will be there tomorrow - Tuesday for the admitted students day Monday
mew248 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I'm not attending the visit day as it conflicts with work commitments but am visiting in two weeks. I'm very interested to get someone else's thoughts on the program. I've been very impressed in how much they seem to be reaching to out to admitted students and their purported strength in the non-profit area.

I also really like how much effort they've put in to reaching out. I also appreciate that they were very fast to send out notifications. My main draw to Minnesota is that they also have a grad program in International Education which is of interest to me.

My main draw to Minnesota is that they also have a grad program in International Education which is of interest to me. They're definitely living up to the stereotype of Midwestern friendliness. And from everyone I've talked to Minneapolis seems to be a very cool (and yes, cold) city. I've been getting good "vibes" about opportunities in the poverty/inequality area.
App4MPP Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I can also attest to being very impressed with the admissions office as well as the contact I have had with the program for admitted students has been top notch. While I may end up at a different program simply do to my interest matching other programs better, if I was interested in public administration or non
MagiciansAlliance Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 To follow up on what APP4MPP said, Minneapolis is a really nice place. I'm from california, but I did my undergrad at a liberal arts school nearby and I loved it. The weather didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, and Minnesota is far more cosmopolitan than the coasts would have you believe (at least so far as the big cities and college towns go...I've heard horror stories about the iron range). The quality of life in Minnesota really is excellent. If you're deciding whether or not to go to HHH, don't let preconceptions about the state of Minnesota negatively affect your decision.
A Snappy Dresser Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I'm going to the April 13th open house (cutting it close to the response date, I know). I've also been impressed with their efforts to reach out to the admitted students. It's a far cry from the mess of GWU.
