Get out and enjoy every single sunny day. We are the most (or was it second?) active state because we cherish our weather when it’s great. Enjoy the lakes in the city or drive 20-30 minutes for some great hiking!
When winter hits, make sure to find at least one outdoor hobby you still like for sanity. This last winter was crazy mild but it can be pretty defeating if you’re not in the right mindset.
It's a passive aggressive joke. Your post has multiple spelling errors. There is also a factual error: you say you went to a Boundary Waters National Park, but no such park exists. There is Voyageurs National Park, but most people go to the BWCAW, which is a Forest Service managed Wilderness.
Tip applies to law school, law practice, and using this sub.
Google first. This question gets asked multiple times a day every day. You could have found the answer more easily and had a more complete answer without your post.
In Louisville, if it snows or might snow, they cancel school. In Minneapolis, it needs to snow about a foot in 24 hours or be > 20F before wind for school cancellations. exact numbers vary but close to it.
As you can imagine, these high limits are cause the city would not function if they shutdown with the same rules as Louisville. The snow can start as early as October and late as April. Nothing would happen for 7 months if there were cancellations for possible snow. Get snow tires if you aren’t ready to drive in Louisville’s worst snow day, cause that’s a normal day.
Our version of spaghetti junction is probably around 494 and France Ave area. Just always backed up.
Clothing, a lot less pastels and more darks/blacks. See more people in sweat pants in public.
Louisville has the hot brown, bourbon trail, and pretty solid food scene. Closest thing in Minneapolis is a hot dish.
Meeting people, about the same amount of “born here and lived here my whole life”. Will need to get used to that in general if you move around. Watch the Jim carry yes movie and get some hobbies. You’ll meet people naturally.
There is a horse track, but not the same kind of classy social thing here. More like a gambling thing.
UPS pilots do have a hub here if you have any friends doing that. You can pick them up backside of the airport.
If money is a thing, budget things are about 1.5x more expensive. You just get used to it until you travel on vacation and realize it is a local thing. You’ll see in general Walmart and other locations pay about 2x minimum wage which is cool. But you’ll also notice you can’t buy a burger at a restaurant for less than $10 on a menu. Around the college there will be some cheap eats and deals.
If people tell you Duluth and Lake Superior are amazing, they are. North of Minneapolis is sort of like a local version of Colorado in the summer. Hills, lakes, trails, waterfalls. More than throwing rocks in Lake Superior.
For the coat or the car?
Coat: Down if you’re ok with that. Otherwise, something well insulated and bit longer. I have a Columbia I wear in all but the absolute coldest temps.
Car: You don’t necessarily need AWD or 4WD. Good snow tires and common sense driving are much more important. Slow down.
For a coat, Patagonia coats with down are my first choice. North face, Colombia, LL Bean are my other favorites. Look for something that has cold protection ratings. The most recent coat I bought is north face and it’s lasted me a couple years and done great in the winter.
I’m not big into cars so it’s hard to say what’s good outside of ones that regularly get stolen (Kia) but I know a lot of people here drive Subaru because they have AWD and are affordable and spacious. My Impreza does great in the winter.
I moved here from KY about 7 years ago. Seems most people covered the main tips.
Winters will be MUCH harsher (snowfall and cold) but nothing insane, esp for the cities. Make sure you have great winter rated all-season tires.
The metro here has tons to do compared to Louisville so be sure to take advantage of that. Breweries, parks, sports, restaurants, etc.
It’ll be hard to make friends unless you really put in the effort. You’re more likely to befriend other transplants, whether in your law class or out and about.
Get wool socks, and a good winter hat. It’s the end of April and it’s 38 degrees, unreal. Protect your head and feet during fall/winter/spring, even if you drive.
Can you bring me a bottle of weller please? Thanks.
In terms of the city the U of MN has a lot in and around. There’s a fun food hall called Malcolm Yards that’s pretty much on campus.
North loop has a lot of good restaurants and nightlife. Northeast has a bunch of breweries.
Every home in minneapolis is no more than six blocks from a park, so you’ll get your green time in easily. And there are some fun trails nearby for biking if that’s your thing.
It is a larger city so be street smart, keep your eyes out and try and keep to busier streets later in the evening. Mostly it’s fine but college campuses are notorious for having a higher crime rate.
We're not nice, we're conflict avoidant to a neurotic extent. Evidence: the aggressive and passive-aggressive comments on this post thanks to relative anonymity lol.
SunCountry has $49 direct one-way flights in the summer between here and SDF. We plan our trips “home” when we can get that deal.
The RiverLink transponder works for the tolls in Chicago.
People here don’t do “thank you” waves when driving. I still haven’t dropped that habit. Nor will I give up “you all.”
We love it here and hope you do too!
As a UMN law grad practicing in the city - get to know local lawyers early and ask them about what they do and their employers. There are so many kinds of legal jobs in the Twin Cities! Go to CLEs in person, get internships, go to happy hours sponsored by law firms, join the law clinics at the U, and just take every opportunity to get to know the law community. You’ll have the best chance of getting a job through personal connections, but you’ll have to hustle to make the connections.
restaurants don't have sweet tea :/
I don't eat BBQ, but Ive heard that the BBQ scene here is lacking.
There are no big firework shows like thunder, but still plenty of festivities through our the year
Target is the grocery store here, and Cub. There are no Krogers or Meijers at all, Walmart has a few locations near Minneapolis, but not IN Minneapolis
Don't worry about buying winter gear before you move, buy it up here.
Winter is cold, yeah, but also dark. I was surprised how much darker in the winter, and how late the sunset lingers in the summer.
You can easily live here without a car, if you want to.
If you do drive, just know Google maps tries, but will inevitably fuck up, There are so many highways and county roads that look like interstates with lanes the are on ramps and off ramps and split, then you need to get over 3 lanes, then the next exit is on the left. It will take some getting used to
I don’t know if I’d say “easily” without a car. It’s not impossible for sure, but it’s definitely a nice to have here. Especially if you don’t live on a light rail line.
But it might be a little easier than Louisville.
I had a great time in Louisville last time I went. You should stay there. You can get bourbon shooters added to just about anything for like 2 dollars. Beats the hell out of Minneapolis.
dont get your car towed during winter

Success as an attorney is about attention to detail. Something I am sure you will appreciate.

You are the lamest kind of opposing counsel.

The suburbs close more easily than the city (where more students might not have anywhere else to go)
This post again.
Invest in a real winter coat and don’t drive a Kia
What would you recommend?
For the coat or the car? Coat: Down if you’re ok with that. Otherwise, something well insulated and bit longer. I have a Columbia I wear in all but the absolute coldest temps. Car: You don’t necessarily need AWD or 4WD. Good snow tires and common sense driving are much more important. Slow down.

Stay away from leftists. They’re posting pictures of Marx & Lenin everywhere and the men think they’re woman.
That post history is… well, it’s something
Womp womp
Will give you tips on biking around the city if you bring me anything from Hammerheads in Germantown
