I'm currently in my first year at the U of MN, and everyone hates Carlson because a lot of the students are spoiled brats that like to pretend they work hard. Like half the class go and rant about how much money they're going to make and how impressive their 30 on the ACT was, paid for by their mommies and daddies who are major players in various companies. Then they only go to class like twice and week and make sure everyone knows that they think Carlson is the most exclusive college and that their work is actually difficult compared to the CBS and CSE.

Never tell anyone you're going to Carlson.

@CSEStudent, I suppose almost everything in your post is right. You're already a student of the U and you have every right to state your opinions about anything within it. However, in my humble opinion, your last line sounds unnecessarily judgmental.

"Never tell anyone you're going to Carlson."

I see how I've already been and will be stereotyped. Fortunately, I can do without stereotypes and opinions from those who believe in them. I know slightly better than that.

There's a joke that goes around campus:

"How do you know if someone is in CSOM?" - They told you.

They tend to embellish their CSOM status and they make it known. CSOM is the only college besides CSE that makes apparel specific to their college, and I see it a lot.

I find that most of the CSOM kids I meet have a pretty evident sense of entitlement and a massive delusion of grandeur. Now that I think of it, I don't think I've actually liked anyone I met from there. Then again, it's a small school and if you're not a business major you won't be running into many people associated with it.

Nonetheless it's a great program with great resources, opportunities, and professors. Don't let a dumb definition from urbandictionary hold you back from attending.

Thank you, RadicalCar. That was objective.

On a separate not, can someone explain the "Carlson Curve"?
