-Minnesota's winters won't be a problem for me. I went to school for 5 years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, so I know all about long cold winters.

Tech or NMU? Either way, winter in Da UP is NOT equal to winter in Minneapolis. I spent 5 years at Tech. Yeah, it snows every damn day, but it never gets particularlly cold. And when it does, it doesn't last.

I've been in Minneapolis now for 9 years. It's pretty common to have a week go by in Minn where it doesn't get above -10 or -20. It sucks the life out of you.

Minnesota residents-Do any of you own condos? It looks like I should be able to find a decent 1 bedroom for around 180k. Does this sound about right?

That's about what I paid for my townhouse.
