The majority of MFA students live off-campus. There is limited on-campus housing available and you can put in a request, but priority goes to incoming undergraduates and international students (most of the MFA international students live on-campus).

For off-campus options, we recommend using one of your favorite apartment finding websites.

Additionally, these recommendations have been collected from MFA alumni:

• Fair Oaks Apartments (2421 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis) — They are on the higher end of the budget, but the management is phenomenal. They regularly accept MCAD students (grad and undergrad) and will work around Financial Aid disbursement dates if a student is using it to pay rent/housing off-campus.
• KRC Apartments: https://krcapartments.com/
• Hornig: https://www.hornigcompanies.com/
• Stutsman: https://www.stutsmanrealtyinc.com/for-rent/
• Mint Properties: https://mintproperties.com/
• Irving: https://www.irvingpropertiesinc.com/ — They own a bunch of old buildings in Uptown and around the Lakes that take dogs and have clawfoot bathtubs, high ceilings, wood floors and lots of soul.
• Commercial Connection: https://www.commercialconnection.biz/
• Stevens Community Apartments: http://www.stevenscommunity.com/ — They have a lot of buildings in the area with different sizes and prices and some units allow pets.
