How many floors are there? I lived there in 1977 and remember the top floor was older Male students (seniors and grad students)- the one under that for Women, similarly a bit more mature)… good times…

I just quit the job because i was sent to MIddleBrook to work. As soon as I got there it was meyham. It was so bad I couldn't even put the 2-week notice in. I was not in the best financial shape to quit but I didn't care. I will choose life over death, every time. I've heard of people committing suicide after leaving a shift at Middlebrook. They need to place all the robots in place of the workers. I got hired 3 days later with only $1 less pay an hr!. God knows I'm a great worker.

Update - I've learned that Middlebrook has been renovated over the summer of 2024! It seems that only the dining hall has been notably changed, most of the other footage should still be very similar or exactly the same as how it is now, but it does sound like the dining hall has been upgraded.

I do have quite a few friends who lived in Bailey freshman year, and they all seemed to have a pretty good experience! Because Bailey is relatively isolated, it seems like its residents form really strong bonds and make close connections (this is probably even more true for those in the LLCs!). The travel to east bank can be a bit difficult but really isn't that bad; while the biggest downside is probably feeling a little disconnected from the rest of campus, Bailey is perfect location-wise for CFANS classes and has a really strong community

So as a UMN student I will have access to all public transportation for free with my umn card .. any exceptions? Thanks for the informative video !
@maxapritchard 4 ай бұрын
You're welcome! And I don't believe there are any major exceptions! Students get "unlimited access to the regional transit system in the Twin Cities metro area," the only transit option that isn't free with the transit pass is the NorthStar train line, which goes from downtown Minneapolis to Big Lake and isn't used for transit within the Cities. The pass does cover $3.25 of that fare (which seems to cost no more than $6.25)

Amazing video! Bedside caddies are great for dorms! Especially if you use phone alarms! Jumping off a bunk bed in the dorm each morning to snooze an alarm can be tough! Masking tape is also great to have! Can’t hold up everything, but if you find your walls sweat too much for command strips (especially when it gets humid in September), the extra surface area tape provides is great!

Updates: - On Monday, 4/29, the Divest Coalition held another protest at 2pm outside of the Memorial Union. In response, the University issued a Safe-U alert and shut down several surrounding buildings. This action was explained as a way to protect students, and deprived protestors of access to restrooms, water, and warmth/shelter from the rain. - That evening, police issued two dispersal warnings from a distance, one at 7pm and the other at 9:15. Protestors held their ground, and the encampment stayed up overnight. - On Tuesday, 4/30, most of east bank was shut down for the entire day, keeping students from using study spaces during a dedicated study day. The encampment stayed up all day, despite heavy rains and two further dispersal warnings. - On Wednesday, 4/1, buildings around the mall were closed once again. Organizers met with University leadership at 10am. Leadership claimed that an agreement had been reached for the encampment to be taken down at 5pm, though organizers denied this. The encampment has stayed up. - On Thursday, 4/2, organizers came to an agreement with administration, and the encampment was taken down. The University promised full financial disclosure by May 7, presentation of a divestment resolution to the Board of Regents on May 10, biweekly meetings with administration until full divestment is achieved, and public support of Palestinian students.

@maxapritchard 4 ай бұрын
Hello! So sorry for this very delayed response - Comstock is probably the best location for walkability, it's in a super central location. Sanford is great if you want to spend lots of time in Dinky, it's probably the closest dorm to food/grocery options. Superblock is also in a pretty ideal location if your classes will mostly be on east bank, which I believe they should be for most CLA majors

@maxapritchard 7 ай бұрын
It looks like the intro psych and criminology courses are on west bank, so Middlebrook could be good for getting to those; however, you're likely to still have some classes on east bank, and Middlebrook can feel a bit isolated from most of the events on campus. It looks like a lot of the 3000 level psychology classes are on the north side of east bank, so Sanford could make sense! And Pioneer and Frontier are both good Superblock spots for socializing. For choosing a hall close to the classes you'll be taking, consider searching those classes in schedule builder and checking where they've usually been held! - schedulebuilder.umn.edu/

Which housing option would you say is best for making friends and community
@maxapritchard 9 ай бұрын
That's a great question! I've heard Bailey is great for community-building within the dorm as it's so relatively isolated, although that makes it harder to connect with friends/community outside the St. Paul campus. Many of the floors at Middlebrook formed close-knit communities. Superblock is the best in terms of simply being around the largest number of students, and there are usually a lot of people socializing in the volleyball/basketball area between the buildings when the weather is nice; a lot of the socializing in Superblock does tend to be more partying-oriented than other halls, which could be a positive or negative depending on your preference. I've also heard that it's relatively easy to connect with people in Comstock, and its location makes it a good spot for easily accessing events and traveling to other dorms. That's all a pretty brief overview, feel free to ask any follow-up questions that come to mind!

To add on to the Pros/Cons of honors section: I definitely recommend talking with your advisor about how the requirement load and opportunities offered will match up with your chosen academic path - honors might be more of a burden and workload for some majors than it is for others. Some of my friends and classmates have expressed frustration with the program while many really enjoy it. The majority of honors students stick with it, but ultimately the quality of the experience will vary between individuals!

@maxapritchard Жыл бұрын
I would probably recommend Superblock if proximity to classes is a priority, as I believe most of the medical classes are closest to it, and I know that the STEM classes are almost entirely on or next to the mall on East Bank. They all have plenty of double rooms; I think Pioneer has the most three-person dorms, so if you're especially trying to avoid that then I'd rank Pio lower, while Centennial has lots of singles - I would probably recommend Frontier. Ultimately, though, when you register for classes you can rank double rooms highest, so it doesn't matter too much how many doubles the respective dorms have
