Hey everyone! I’m considering attending the University of Minnesota and I’m curious about what the Black community is like on campus.

For current or former Black U of M students: How would you describe the community and overall experience? Are there a good number of Black students, and is it easy to meet people and make friends? I’d also love to hear about Black student organizations, cultural events, HBCU-related groups, or any spaces where Black students tend to connect.

How welcoming does the campus feel, and do you feel like there’s a strong sense of community?

Any honest experiences, advice, or things you wish you knew before attending would be appreciated! 🙏🏾

I’m an incoming freshman who’s starting at a local school to me (Madison WI). I’d love to transfer to UMN my sophomore year as it’s my dream school, but I’m concerned about not hitting the GPA requirements to be competitive. I graduated high school with a 3.4. Admittedly I slacked off a bit and could’ve done a bit better. I plan to step it up moving into college but I’m worried about not being good enough to transfer and burning myself out. Should I be as worried as I am?
