Jump into life beside the University of Minnesota, and spend your downtime taking advantage of its on-campus amenities. Join thousands cheering on the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team, or support the college ice hockey team at Mariucci Arena. On sunny days, you can pack a picnic and head to East River Flats Park, where you can relax beside the Mississippi River. Later, stroll north to Dinkytown for lunch in one of its independent eateries – try Gorkha Palace for authentic Indian, Nepali and Tibetan cuisine.
At The Station on Washington you’ll be right next to U of M’s Twin Cities campus, so you can have a few extra minutes in bed and still make it to class on time. After your classes, hop in your car and drive 10 minutes to do your weekly shop at the local Walmart, or head to ALDI and stock up on discount groceries.
Back home, head straight to the communal penthouse lounge to chat about your day with your friends while you enjoy stunning views over the city. Then, make your way to the on-site fitness center to let off some steam with a workout, or chill out with friends in the yoga studio.
You can head back to your private or shared furnished apartment afterwards. Freshen up in your ensuite bathroom, and throw your sports kit into the washer dryer. You can cook your favorite meals for dinner with the stainless steel appliances in the modern kitchen, and eat at the breakfast bar.
Curl up on the couch to watch your favorite shows on the 42-inch flatscreen TV. When it’s time to get started on your assignments, head to your bedroom, spread your books out on the study desk and use the high-speed internet to do your research. You’ll get a good night’s sleep in your extra-long bed, and will wake up feeling refreshed for your classes.
Utilities like internet, water and trash are included in your rent, so you don’t have to worry about getting an unexpected bill. On-site management and maintenance teams are also available, and there’s even secure parking for your car or bike.
