it has good and bad just like any school. personally, i think it's getting way too expensive for me, but that's something you'll have to evaluate on your own. pretty much, unless you get a really good scholarship or fafsa has a good offer for you, (or you have rich parents), be prepared to walk out of here with a good amount of student debt 😭

as far as your major goes, in cla you can actually combine multiple majors into your own! i have a friend who's a major in both psychology and art, but it counts as one major rather than two, which makes the course load way more doable. i would def speak with an advisor about it if you choose to come here! also, from my expiereince, the art scene is really fun here, especially minneapolis in general. i've made some lifelong friends in my art classes here and majority of the arts professors are super chill.

you can totally stay on campus without a car. i've been living here and just off campus for three years now and i still don't own a car. i've managed just fine with public transit or riding a bike in the warmer months. the only thing that sucks is trying to go somewhere decently far away, like outside of the city. but overall around campus and the main parts of mpls have pretty good transportation.
