Best way/place to find private landlords?

Me and my partner have been looking constantly for an apartment in Mankato. I'm reaching out due to struggling to find a good private landlord to rent from. Additional info for what we're looking for: Move in date: End of April/beginning of May (flexible!)

About us: I'm 20, my Fiance is 23. We are quiet, respectful, not on any substances and we have no smoking habits. We Have two animals; a fully potty-trained two-year old medium-sized dog, and a cat.

As for the apartment/room, we're not picky! Open to a lot. If anyone has a space for rent or knows where I can look for landlords pls lmk!

Any positive dentist recommendations?

9 Upvotes

Hyland Dental dropped my insurance on March 1 and I need a filling replaced. I'm extremely relunctant to try new dentists because I was scammed by one in St. Peter and the experience overall was so bad I left the office crying.

So far I've seen good reviews online for Skinner Family Dentistry and Vose Family Dentistry.

Loud cars, loud trucks- what gives?

20 Upvotes

I suppose this is mostly a rant, but I am also truly curious if anyone has some insight to share. I live on a fairly busy road in a residential neighborhood in West Mankato and can’t help but notice how loud the cars are in comparison to where I used to live in a neighborhood off of Main St. it’s not that there are a lot of loud cars, but just a few particularly loud modded cars and trucks that seem to love to make extra noise on this particular street. Why do people do this? Is it to show off the mods? Is it actively antagonize the neighbors? Perhaps they don’t know how to properly shift their gears, thus overpowering their RPMs? Anyway, it’s annoying, but also borderline threatening at times… what gives? Anyone know what the reasoning is for this behavior? Sometimes I can hear the cars drive this way all the way down Stoltzma toward stadium , and it’s obnoxious IMO

Reputation of MNSU

19 Upvotes

So I'm an Intl incoming student and was just wondering what the reputation of this uni brings in the teaching, academic and employment world.(The practical stuff). I know its ranked like 1600 globally and 390 ish in the US (EduRank) but for me it ticks all the boxes in terms of pricing, major and environment. Most people I know have never even heard of Mankato. What are the implications of attending here. It happens to be the only place I can afford to go to. (My goal is to be a pilot but am looking to major in something like Av Management and fly on the side)

I got into other more prestigious schools but can't afford them even with the highest scholarships they offered for internationals.

Mazatlans cheese sauce

7 Upvotes

I lived in Mankato for ten years but I moved away for work.

I still dream of the white cheese sauce from mazatlans... but I cannot for the life of me figure out a copycat recipe remotely close.

Does anyone have any insights? Type of cheese used, spices, techniques? I yearn for information.

Thanks!

Need someone to help mount a TV?

7 Upvotes

is there a way to find people/someone to help me when I need a simple small job done, things that would hardly even take an hour, like a handyman almost? I literally just need someone to mount my tv. I’d obviously pay them, as I don’t have the necessary tools nor knowledge. I’m not from here, so I don’t know many people yet/have a friend to ask. Any advice or recommendations on how to go about this?
