The campus is beautiful and all the buildings have such character. The view of downtown when you walk over the Washington Bridge is breathtaking! It's located in Minneapolis and is a short drive, walk, or bus ride away from downtown or uptown. Everything you need is less than a few miles away. Since it's located in such a prime location there are endless opportunites!
