Miami to Minnesota transfer?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Minnesota
1

<p>Hello. I'm a sophomore at the University of Miami. I am majoring in environmental engineering and contemplating transferring to the University of Minnesota. I have never visited their campus and am pulling my hair out over the decision, which needs to be made by May 1. I feel a bit disconnected with the types of personalities at the U and am looking for a more genuine atmosphere. I'm a member of the marching band here. I play tuba.</p>

<p>I also find my engineering program to be a bit disconnected from the rest of the school. I notice other programs have a vision that I just don't see. The program isn't bad; it's just not great. I'm one of the superior students in all of my engineering classes.</p>

<p>I also don't know about Minnesota. It's a big school as far as I hear. I've thought about the weather, but at the end of the day, I just want to be happy with my program and what is around me, and snow really isn't going to bother me that much.</p>

<p>Any thoughts? Insight into either Miami's or Minnesota's engineering programs? Anything on the atmosphere of Minnesota as a college experience and a civil engineering program?
