<p>Seabs…If you’re looking for the type of relationship and environment that you’d find with UMich/Ann Arbor or Nebraska/Lincoln, you probably won’t find that in the Twin Cities. While Minneapolis/St Paul definitely embraces the Gophers, it’s a major metropolitan area with all the activities and amenities you could hope for so the University doesn’t dominate the landscape like it would in a smaller “college town”. If the college town “feel” is what’s most important to you, I don’t think you’ll get that same vibe in the Twin Cities. If you’re interested in the friendliest big city you’ll ever find with fantastic shopping, restaraunts, bars, arts and theater district, sports, etc. then you can’t go wrong with the U and MSP. Good Luck to you wherever you choose to attend!!</p>
