The Twin Cities campus is bigger than most Minnesota towns, with nearly 70,000 students, faculty, and staff. And with that size come nearly endless ways to meet their needs. If they want to see Sheryl Crow perform, watch the women’s crew win another Big Ten race, rent a camera to make a movie, explore string theory, get a strep test, learn to speak better English, or find the latest issue of Dwell, they’re all possible on the Twin Cities campus. Plus the mighty Mississippi dazzles at their doorstep.
