It’s Chantel Folden’s first semester at the University of Minnesota. After two years at Inver Hills Community College, she applied to the University on a whim and decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in communication studies when she was accepted.
Though she may seem to be a typical transfer student, Folden said she has to balance “school time” and “mommy time” with her 2-year-old daughter, Ahlyvia, in addition to academic work.
