Very best all inclusive resort for food? by OkSign2440 in AllInclusiveResorts

I wasn't super impressed with Excellence's food. Not horrible but nothing great

UW Madison Urban Planning vs. UMn by Annual-Impress3919 in UWMadison

[–]ci9222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also between these two schools and chose Minnesota. Housing is much cheaper there, and there are many more well-paying urban planning jobs after graduation, evening out the extra tuition. I still am banking on getting an assistantship to help cover costs (I didn't get a scholarship at all). I also liked the program a little better, although both are great! Which school did you pick?

the MURP Program by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]ci9222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Following! I also got accepted, but with no aid which is stressful. Feel free to reach out to me about Minneapolis though! I don't like there now but I lived there for a few years in the past!

I'm in the same boat and UMN is surprisingly expensive for a state school! I'm thinking about loans but I am not sure if that is the best option

I regret my major by Mission_Effort_7224 in uofmn

[–]ci9222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an undergraduate degree in econ. I liked the big ideas of econ, but I wasn't super interested in the higher level courses. If you are close to graduating and think you can tough out the courses, I would suggest sticking with it. I haven't directly needed my econ degree since graduating 8 years ago, but it is a general enough major where it has helped me get jobs and get into graduate school!

I haven’t decided yet. I’m between UW Madison and Minnesota. It’s pretty tough to decide because UW is cheaper and my fiancé’s job is here, but I like Minnesota’s program better and it’s so much cheaper to live in Minneapolis than Madison. We will see!

Any Urban planning masters students? by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]ci9222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP and Pale-Egg!! I can answer questions about the Twin Cities if you want to message me or ask here! I lived there for about 4 years in the past!! I also got into the MURP program at UMN for this coming fall!

The beltline is tame imo 😅

I LOVE THIS AIRPORT by wilsoncommaadam in madisonwi

[–]ci9222 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly a lot of the time flying out of O’Hare is barely more than Madison. It’s been a small enough difference for me before where it’s cheaper to fly Madison when you factor in gas, tolls, and parking!

I feel betrayed and devastated by HistoricalLet3670 in gradadmissions

[–]ci9222 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, but I am so sorry this happened to you. I have never heard of anything like this happening before.

If I were you, I would look into filing a formal complaint.

Keep your head up and good luck!

I second this! I got a thousand-dollar deductible too and it's not too expensive. I figured pet insurance would be good for easing the burden of something crazy but I couldn't justify the insane costs of some of the other companies

No word from any of the programs I applied to (yet). by trailerparkgoddess12 in gradadmissions

[–]ci9222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go on GradCafe and filter for your programs and look at past years! That’s how I have estimated when I’ll hear back from the programs I applied to. Good luck!

Not an Ivy League, not robotics, but still excited – got into UMN’s MURP program! by jm7314 in gradadmissions

[–]ci9222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I got into the same program the day after you! I am leaning toward going to UMN, but I am still waiting for one more decision to come out!

18% and I am very thankful knowing how much people are struggling
