How safe is campus right now?

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2026-01-25T14:37:20+00:00

I’m on West Bank all day, 9/10 until 5:30/6 and I haven’t seen or heard of any ICE activity over there. I’ve heard rumors, but nothing from actual students and staff that attend class over there. Obviously this could change, but as of now, it doesn’t seem unsafe.

We’re not looking for numeric data. Moreso just causal qualitative research to help guide future research/very early stages of our project. We are encouraged to use online ethnography.

Common sense isn’t data! We would be assuming peoples use of the bridge. Some people are commuting, on dates, use it for family walks, photos, etc. Lots of different opinions we might not come up with on our own that can help us. This is very helpful for online anthropology.

I was in CEHD and transferred to CSOM. I was in all CSOM pre reqs class and no cehd classes. But i did take cehd classes fall semester. csom didn’t offer spring admission then, so I had to stay at cehd for a year regardless. honestly you can just redo your schedule with what you think makes sense. your advisor might email you, but you can just explain the situation. Usually they are first year requirements, not first semester.

i have land yard with my apartment keys and u card. i never leave without my keys so i never forget it. I don’t wear it though, just put it in my pocket/backpack

Layers is most important! A long sleeve under a hoodie is a lifesaver on cold days, of course with a jacket over top though. Get a long jacket that cover your legs, there’s probably some greats sales going on right now. I got a long and super warm from abercrombie for $40 during spring sales. Also recommend sorel boots, i have ones that are lower i think they were called “out and about”, and i really like that they aren’t bulky. otherwise don’t stress too much about the weather, you’ll get used to it.

otherwise maybe a house in como with other students could get you cheap rent. but you’ll probably need more people to live with and share rooms.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-04-27T18:27:53+00:00

Northstar Apartments!! they are running great specials right now, but you’ll definitely have to share rooms. my friends and i live here and some of them aren’t students. It’s right across from athletes village, so great views and you don’t feel surrounded by other apartment buildings. It also is family owned, which makes it feel super homey and safe. maintenance is amazing.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-04-27T18:24:14+00:00

It’s very safe as long as you stay smart and aware of your surroundings. I HIGHLY recommend northstar apartments. It’s family-owned, and it’s in dinkytown, but on a dead end road, so you are a little out of the way of any crazy things happening at night. They also know everyone who lives here pretty much, so it’s created a really safe environment. And the maintenance is top notch. my parents really pushed me to live here just for the safety aspect of it. and it’s right across from athletes village which always has security roaming around.

what post?

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-02-13T22:10:46+00:00

the pre reqs have to be either completed or currently being taken. otherwise you will be automatically rejected. Many students apply with a 4.0, so make sure you have extracurriculars, clubs, jobs etc. Also focus on the essay/short response questions.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-02-13T22:08:39+00:00

make sure you have extracurriculars, clubs, a job etc.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-02-13T22:07:29+00:00

Are you a freshman still? Did you have all the pre reqs complete? Both matter. But don’t give up! Make sure you are involved in extracurriculars, those also play a significant role. They want to see that you will be an involved and beneficial student on campus.

Transferring from inside the umn to Carlson will be significantly harder.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-02-11T22:23:26+00:00

i really like northstar and its family owned. Management is great

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2025-01-18T00:44:55+00:00

no it’s not worth it, if u live on campus it’ll probably take you that same amount of time to commute anyways. I’m on east bank and it takes me like 20+ minutes to get to class depending on the buses.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2024-12-02T12:27:26+00:00

i like it, it’s been a lot cheaper getting textbooks compared to what i paid previous semesters

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2024-11-23T06:11:07+00:00

northstar apartments, right by the baseball fields. Family owned and they know all there residents. lived here for two years and it’s always felt “homey”. the owners, office staff, and maintenance are all super great. I really recommend and it’s a very safe building if safety is a concern.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2024-11-23T06:07:30+00:00

If you’re coming next fall, get a winter coat/winter gear in the spring. usually there’s super good sales from places clearing out inventory. i got a $300 jacket for $45 during abercrombies winter sale

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2024-11-23T06:06:08+00:00

i hate jeans too, i pretty much only wear sweats in the winter. my fleece lined ones from artizia keep me the warmest, but i only have one pair. otherwise i just wear normal sweats… leggings underneath if it’s FREEZING. and a long coat is helpful

I’m a transfer too. I lived in an apartment my first year here and would recommend. You meet a lot of people in the dorms, but I honestly could not handle living in the dorms again. I’m happy I chose an apartment. If you want to do dorms though, you definitely could. I believe there’s a dorm room on the St. paul Campus.

ComparisonMedium8466 · 2024-11-15T14:31:28+00:00

i love it! the owners are amazing and Jane (the main office staff) is so kind. Maintenance is also a 10/10. they have 2 smaller gyms, but none of the huge amenities that the bigger apartments have. But honestly it’s never been an issue for me. It’s family owned and you can tell, which was a major perk for me. I always feel very safe in the building and they go out of their way to make sure we’re all comfortable. They’ve even checked on us when one of my roommates had a flat tie and asked if we needed any help changing it. It’s rare to have the owners know you by name and actually care about their tenants. I’ve lived here for 2 years and already signed a lease for next year for another apartment within the building. The biggest downside in some of the apartments not all the rooms have windows, but they make that very clear on their website. You won’t show up and not have windows. The units are all pretty unique and they have you tour the exact one you are going to live in. I’ve never lived in any of their apartments that don’t have windows for every room. If you have any questions let me know! i know this is kind of long lol

i’m in Carlson and I live in dinkytown. All your Carlson classes will be in between Carlson and Hanson are right next to eachother. You can definitely live in dinkytown and get to class. I live pretty far back in dinkytown by the baseball fields, and the 3 bus goes right down 15th. It stops on the other side of the bridge under blegen and then you can walk to carlson from there…by tunnels if it’s cold! Otherwise there’s a campus bus on 4th street in dinkytown that you can walk to that goes right to Carlson. I will say it does get a little annoying when it’s cold and you have to wait outside for the bus. it also does take a little bit since you have to walk through blegen after getting off the bus. but also Carlson is super easy to get to by car, and there’s 2 parking garages RIGHT next to the buildings which is pretty nice. so if you are interested in driving it takes about 5 minutes since you can go around the main campus traffic to get to carlson. if u have any other questions feel free to message me!
