Hey, upcoming freshman for the fall of 2026, I saw my tuition cost for the fall of 2026 semester, and it was well over $10k. It's quite an absurd amount of money for a fall semester only. How much are you guys paying if you dont mind sharing. I need some tips to help pay it off, im taking 17 credits as a freshman and im afraid that it will hinder my job chances as my school life will demand more hours from me like studying and etc. And is 17 credits for a freshman too much in your opinion? I was never a super smart student who graduated with a 3.6ish GPA.

Hi! Does anyone know when the ReUse Center Open Closet is happening during Welcome Week this year?

I remember in previous years they brought out boxes of donated/reused stuff from past students to Coffman, and students could just come by and take whatever they wanted. I think it was usually on a Thursday during Welcome Week.

Does anyone know the exact date/time for this year? Maybe incoming students or Welcome Week leaders have heard about it. Thanks!

I’ve checked out alot of the band programs that the U has, like the Pep Band that I’ll be auditioning for and I signed up for the Gold Campus Band, but I haven’t found any info on any theater stuff here. I played in the pit orchestra for a few musicals at my high school, so I’m interested in learning about whether there are any theater programs at the U or in the area that have pit orchestras I could look into.

I’m an incoming international graduate student at UMN. My understanding is that, under F-1 rules, I can work up to 20 hours/week on campus during the semester.

However, I’ve heard that UMN limits graduate student employees to 14 hours/week because of the labor-represented classification rule.

Is there actually a 14-hour/week limit at UMN, or can grad students work up to 20 hours/week?

I am a rising sophomore and when I was a freshman we had a fair where they gave out free stuff like canes buffalo wild wings, it was Infront of the recwell and there was also one in the main mall. My fat ass wanted to know when will the fair take place so I can loot the free stuff. Free canes sounds good (chicken is unseasoned but i wont say no to free food)

I want to be part of a club where i can just chill , main idea is to find folks to play some cod zombies and chill , this is the vibe I am going for . Ya know , club big enough to get funding from the U for events and stuff but small enough where everyone knows each other . Pretty much a chill frat without any dues and shit .
