University Of Minnesota • Minneapolis, MN
Studying English Literature (completion in 2009)
• 12/8/2011
"I loved attending UMN. The cost is the biggest disappointment. I put myself in substantial debt to get what I felt was mediocre."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend it because of my experiences at the university. I would not recommend it based on academics. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | The University of Minnesota is a well-known research institution. I am unsure where English Literature is ranked. |
| Program Quality | 7 | Curriculum was not overly stimulating. I felt challenged by assignments. |
| Instruction | 4 | I didn't feel the quality of instruction was anything special. I dislike when graduate students teach at the undergraduate level. |
| How Difficult | 8 | I often felt overwhelmed by the amount of reading I was required to do. I managed to graduate successfully, but there was considerable challenge. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I felt that books were a large part of my college experience. I think it would be great if this was a program that became more hands on and innovative. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | I felt I could attend classes around my schedule. I was able to maintain an internship and a part-time job while attending school. |
| Academic Facilities | 4 | The building that houses English classes is in very rough condition and not much funding is given to it. However, about a year after I graduated, the department was to be moved to another building that was completing renovations. |
| Social Life | 8 | Athletics at UMN really depend on the sport, but the fan base is great. Games are always packed and there is plenty to do on the weekends. |
| Placement Services | 5 | There is an office dedicated to helping you find jobs and internships while in school. I wasn't given any kind of contact information regarding who to contact for post-graduation job seeking. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I know very little about my alumni network. Although they call for donations, they don't reach out frequently regarding other events. |
University Of Minnesota • Minneapolis, MN
Studying English (completion in 2006)
• 12/13/2011
"I was fairly satisfied. I learned quite a bit and now have a job I enjoy."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend my school, but not the program I was in. I would recommend a more applicable major. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | The reputation is good. The graduate program is fellowship-based, so that is especially good. |
| Program Quality | 8 | I majored in English, so it wasn't directly applicable to marketing. It was a good literature program, however. |
| Instruction | 8 | The relevance was good for English, it wasn't so for marketing. The career preparation was rather poor. |
| How Difficult | 8 | I took honors classes, so it was challenging. The homework load wasn't too bad. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I was an English major. So books were critical. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | It was fairly inflexible. I ended up working mornings at 5 to make my classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | They share space with all of the College of Liberal Arts. So the facilities are pretty good. |
| Social Life | 5 | I had pretty good social experiences. That said, I lived off-campus, so not as good as those who lived on campus. |
| Placement Services | I didn't take advantage of it. So I can't really answer. | |
| Alumni Network | 5 | They are OK. I like the English dept's communications. However I hate getting sales calls looking for donations. |
Winona State University • Winona, MN
Studying Marketing (completion in 2005)
• 1/10/2012
"I really enjoyed Winona and what I learned there. I feel like I developed in my field of study."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Winona is a small town that will let you concentrate on what's important. The culture there is very welcoming. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | Winona is more or less known for the nursing school. Marketing wasn't a huge aspect or community. |
| Program Quality | 7 | There wasn't a wide variety of classes, other than the basic marketing classes. I learned about the other facets of marketing through different associations. |
| Instruction | 8 | Winona had very good teachers. They were outgoing and had very good hands-on projects. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The workload was a lot the first two years. I feel like it dwindled a lot senior year. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Marketing was more hands on. The other general ed classes were from the books. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | Winona was an online campus; that means that we all had laptops and wireless internet. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | Winona had a new library. They were continually expanding to include more facilities. |
| Social Life | 8 | The associations I was involved with helped with the experience. Sports teams at Winona were very good as well. |
| Placement Services | 6 | Our professors helped us out more than the career placement services. There were very few on-campus interviews. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I only get e-mails requesting money. The associations I was involved in have greater alumni associations. |
