A few years ago my office/lab was in an area under the stands in Marriucci ... on the side the zamboni drives in and out of (NW corner of the stadium, ground level.) We did driving simulation and human factors research there. (And the lab had previously done some aviation research and had some cool derelict airplane cockpits/sims.) Some fun times. I snuck into a game once with my daughter just to get pizza. (I think it was a USA women's national team game or something like that.) One time I peed next to Doug Woog (UMN mens hockey coach.) I was all like, hey what up. I also peed next to Gilbert Godfrey at comic con. That's about as close as I've ever been to fame.
There are some good schools in the MIAC. I hope something works out! Our oldest daughter graduated from St. Kates and youngest daughter is getting her masters there now. My mom and uncle graduated from Macalester. We have relatives or know people that have gone to just about every one of the MIAC schools. I have friends that transferred their kids from Bethel to Northwestern (a mile down the road) because Bethel was way too liberal ... so read into that probably whatever you want and you'll probably be about right. :-)
Anyhow, hope you find a good fit somewhere. (And by that I mean good scholarships!)
