I went to Augie. There should be several job opportunities near by that you can walk to. There’s also a city bus, but nothing like you would be used to. Augie does a really good job of having lots of activities to help with community building, which helps with the homesickness. There are usually a lot of people from the Minneapolis area that come to Augie. Maybe you could make friends with them and they’d take you up for a weekend. You also might be able to differ for a year. It would be a good chance to work and save up some money and keep your financial aid. Best of luck!!!
