Picture itself speaks. Minnesota nice! Where in the world you find World's largest fresh water lake?? Where in the US you find 15000 lakes? Where in the world you find world's biggest indoor mall? Where in the world you find world's biggest spoon? Where in the US all Intl Students are able to pay IN-STATE tuition fees?Having been lived in the Midwest, Northeast, West, South. Nothing can compare to Upper Midwest specially Minnesota in case of social values, education, quality of life and plus endless other things. So even if you dont study or live there, you guys all should go there once and enjoy what minnesota can give it to you. If you want a perfect summer with boating and fishing on mind it will offer you all that and if you are a ski lover or a snowmobile enthusiasts, it will offer you endless fun too. You get to enjoy all the nature has to offer in Minnesota. Its a very welcoming state and i dont think theres any other state which welcomes more Intl students and offers IN-STATE fees from the very 1st day when even the local born population has to wait for a year to get IN-STATE fees. So you make the decision.
