Question: Is the Minnesota State University of Mankato a good school to get a degree in political science?Is it hard to get into?13 months ago
Best Answeridk about the poli sci program, but its not that hard to get into, decent gpa and ACT score of like 18-20 and you get in... its an okay school but it is a state school... its lots of fun tho. |
Question: Virginia Union University vs. Minnesota State University for an international student?MNSU gives instate tuition to international students and VUU doesnt and i chose marketing as a major for both21 months ago
Best AnswerI attended VUU for 2 years then transferred to a state school. Go to MNSU. You will save so much more on your tuition since VUU is a private institution. Facility wise, even though I have not seen MNSU, it has to be 100% better than VUU. The community colleges in the area have better facilities that VUU. ~Hopes this helps! |
Question: Minnesota, Mankato State university....?Does anybody know about Minnesota State, mankato University? What was your experience like? What is your opinion of it? Would you recommend it for going for the first two years before transfering to the U of M Twin Cities? Thank you!33 months ago
Best AnswerI don't understand why you wouldn't be going to U of M, Twin Cities right away unless you didn't get into it in the first place. I would say that if you are looking for a small school where you can just focus on your studies in order to tranfer then yes Mankato State would be a great place for you to go. Good Luck!!! |
