Pros

If you can't afford or can't get into the University of Minnesota, and you can't afford or don't want to leave the Metro, Metro State is the college of last resort.

Cons

It was a toxic workplace before I started, and it continued to be a toxic workplace after I left. I take comfort in the fact that the people who made it toxic continue to work there, and the people who tried to make a difference were able to get out.
