Jillian

Someone who loves the outdoors and doesn't mind brutal winters. Someone who is willing to put in the time and work in class because the courses are rigorous and the courseload is heavy.

Berlin

People who are environmentally concerned and love the outdoors should attend this school, but also anyone with diverse educational goals. The school is fantastic for so many different feilds.

Jillian

A person who is ready for a challenge should attend this school. This school provides many challenges, from academics to the weather, a person considering attending UMD should be ready to take on these challenges. The academics are rigorous but worthwhile. One will learn many important lessons. One should be ready to work for these valuable lessons, but do not let that frighten you, because the effort makes the lessons more meaningful. One who loves the outdoors, hockey, and a close community of faculty and students should attend the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Mary

The type of person who should attend this school should be comfortable with a city enviornment. They should also be prepared for a large population of students and large class sizes. They should be prepared for the sporadic weather in the area. The student should be welcoming to different cultures/religons due to the schools large diversity. The student might benefit if they are interested in athletics; either playing some themselves or just watching.

Amanda

The type of person that should attend UMD is a very open-minded and active student. UMD prides itself on the availability of Lake Superior, hiking trails, and winter sports. Anyone who is interested in these will love the school and it's surrounding community. The prospective student should also be able to handle the cold weather and snow. There are tunnels throughout the school, but waiting for the bus and doing outdoor activities can take a toll on a person who is not inclined to Duluth winters.

Chris

Every kind of person should attend this school.

Angela

I believe that a strong, free-spirited individual should attend this school. Any student would succeed at this school who has academics but the ones who will shine above and beyond will have an extraordinary personality and would be able to adapt to any situation. This school will open your eyes and show you a new world that most high school students haven't seen before.

Casey

Someone who likes outdoors. Someone who likes a medium sized school. Duluth is also a very cold place, s if you hate winter, it isn't the place for you.

Kelsi

Any person who is interested in getting a great education and willing to work hard in order to achieve that.

Chelsey

I would say a person that loves being around a lot of people. This is a big school so there are many activities and social gatherings available. If you don't like the huslte and bustle, do not go to this school because it can get very chaotic at times! The halls can get very crowded when classes let out at the same time so you have to dodge people a lot. Duluth is a nice city though, because there are a lot of outdoors activities that you can do.

Sheewin

Though this school is a state school, it is a smaller state school with somewhat smaller classes, so someone who is looking for a more affordable school with smaller classes and good academics should attend this school. Someone who loves the outdoors, especially winter activities (such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing) should attend this school. Duluth is a really cool city; it is on the smaller side but stll with a variety of things to do and explore. This school also provides free tutoring, research opportunities, along with many other great facilities.

Zachary

Everyone who would like to get a great education and have a great time doing so should attend the Univeristy of Minnesota Duluth. If you like the outdoors and would like to learn how to snowshoe, ski, kayak, scuba dive, and many many more outdoor activities, UMD is the place for you. There are so many available activities to choose from. There is something for everyone.

Jason

This school is a good fit for those who want a universityfeel, but without the typically large size. UMD has nice facilities, solid athletic programs, and in my opinion, a well selected teaching staff. It does get a bit cold up here, so if you really hate winters, I would recommend thinking twice about UMD!

Jessica

I think any normal person would. Some one who is looking for a good education should look into it. It is a great campus. With lots of oppurtunities that come along with it. I love it here and wouldn't go anywhere else. It is a great school. And the professors really care about you doing well in the class.

Janey

A person who is able to keep their school work and social life well balanced.

Angela

The University of Minnesota Duluth really allows the outdoor enthusiast to explore a potentail course of study while enjoying the North Shore's seasonal activities. From ice climbing in the winter to urban kayaking in one of Duluth's many parks this University allows one to explore academic and cultural pursuits. Where else can a student x-country ski to class when their is a snowstorm outside their dorm room.

Someone who doesn't quite know what they want to do yet. By going here you will be able to find out who you really are with the help of peers and professors.

Lot of extracurricular activities, everything from hiking - surfing. Skiing, snow boarding in winter. It also has almost every club/organization one can think of, has many inturmural sports-lot of fun. If you are willing to try things and be active you will have a great time.

This school is opened to all individuals who would like to have the school with a big campus in a smaller scale community with many of the imenities of life near by.

The perfect person for the University of Minnesota, Duluth would be a christian that loves outdoor activities and doesn't mind very cold weather. There are a lot of friendly christians on campus and they constantly have things to do outside of drinking. The school is pretty small, so it's a great place for students that like to have personal relationships with their professors.
