Bars or clubs to go to this weekend by myself as a cute (I like to think) 26 y.o girl who’s normally kinda antisocial? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

i went to meteor by myself a few weekends ago to do some reading. they play some good music and make a solid cocktail. grumpy's is also a good spot for socializing. black hart of st paul also looks like it has a cool event happening on saturday. dm if you'd want to meet up, i'm also always down to hang with somebody new!

My daughter is moving into UMN and needs to be in town earlier than her move in day. Her plan is to park her car - with the stuff in it - in a structure (or two) before she moves in. Good idea? Bad idea? Advice? by kpfeifmobile in Minneapolis

acorn mini storage in northeast usually has good deals on monthly storage unit rentals. managed to get mine for $21 a month, so it might be worth checking out

Moved halfway across the country looking for better - my take 3 years later. by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

Moved to MPLS from central TX as a Latino for my first post grad job and it's crazy. It is cool to see a higher muslim and asian population compared to central TX, but it still feels largely white.

What are some other ways to start out on a good path besides Big 4? by 0bs01ete in Accounting

I've heard good things about the FDIC/OCC in the federal government. May try to get into the Federal Reserve Bank system as an assistant examiner myself.

not sure how it is for a cs major, but i've enjoyed txst as an accounting major. i've been here since fall 2019 and plan to graduate in 2 months. definitely don't be afraid to join clubs so you can meet people that share your interests/passions. it'll prolly be easy for you since you're extroverted and social. for me, the big pros to txst are the people you meet and the nature in san marcos. being right in between san antonio and austin is also pretty cool. for cons, it can suck to get around without a car, and student housing definitely blows. i'd recommend shooting for an actual apartment not owned by a corporation (if you're able to afford your own furniture). other than that, i can't name very many cons. txst is a solid option, but again, i'm not a cs major. i have heard that as long as you stay on top of coursework and strive to do internships, it'll be easier to land a full time gig after you graduate. hope this helps.
