If you want a recommendation for a decent reasonably priced hotel at MSP with a free shuttle from the airport, just PM me.
Thank you. I am considering getting there a day earlier - it will make things easier on me. I'll PM you.

Another idea, and I'm saying this having no idea about prices or exact times, but if you flew into LAX a day early, then on the day you need to be at school, you might be able to schedule an even earlier flight that would get you in before noon. So, maybe a 6:35am flight that gets you in just a couple minutes after noon.
That's a good idea, thanks. I'll check it out
