Apartments Near the College of Liberal Arts
CLA spans both banks. Here is how to choose a location with flexible access to East and West Bank when your classes move between them.
The College of Liberal Arts has buildings on both the East Bank and the West Bank of the Minneapolis campus. Because your classes can fall on either side, the smartest choice is a location with flexible access to both: a community on the METRO Green Line or in a neighborhood that feeds it. Prospect Park reaches both banks; Dinkytown and Stadium Village favor East Bank, and Cedar-Riverside favors West Bank.
