Rad85 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I know the current class said they got together a few times before classes started. Anyone interested in doing that when it gets closer to start dare?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para3732 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I would. Definitely. I'll be making trips up to look at places to live in the near future. Are you a Minneapolis native?? Any recommendations on areas to live or to not live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad85 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm from central MN so I'm trying to find a place to live also! Friends who live in the cities have recommended St. Paul so that's where I'm looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para3732 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Well I'm not overly sure. Hoping to be somewhat close to campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sen488 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm also moving from central MN. I went to school at the University and enjoyed living in both Msp and St.Paul. It just depends what you like and what you're willing to pay. I will probably quit my job the month before we start. I'd be up for meeting sometime!

Midwestbound Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Congrats to all on being accepted!! If you have any questions please post. I would recommend living close to Luther campus, but really anywhere is doable depending on how much time you want to spend driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agross831 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'd love to get together before the first day! I'm not 100% sure yet when I'm moving up there, but at least the week before orientation. Any recommendations on areas to live would be awesome or if anyone is possibly interested in a roommate, let me know! Any suggestions are helpful, especially since I'm not from the area. Looking forward to meeting you all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sen488 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 I think there are some sketchy parts of Northeast Msp. Como/ Dinkytown is mostly U of M students, so sometimes there are parties going on. I had a friend that had her house broken into a few times. St. Paul is usually a fairly safe bet. I would avoid apartments near Marshall Ave though. The other areas are fine and close to several other college campuses. A lot of people like Uptown. I have never lived in that area. I have several friends that live in St.Louis Park and love it. Roseville is a nice area. The area around Snellilng Ave and University is sketchy, so try to avoid that. South and east of Como Lake "frogtown" not the best either. Some of my facts may be incorrect, but this what I thought when I lived in the cities a few years ago. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joh10206 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hello everyone! After reading through this thread, I am even more excited to meet all of you come May/June. I currently go the the U and am in the hunt for housing next year also. I agree with past remarks about the Como neighborhood, however I think it is much less sketchy further down on Como near the Luther Seminary campus where we will be. St. Paul is also a great option for nice neighborhoods if you are looking for something close. Most houses are going to be 3-5 bedroom places and somewhat old (but cheap for Minneapolis!). Also the Facebook page sounds like a great idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sen488 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 I am currently looking for places to rent and will definitely be needing a couple roommates. Feel free to shoot me a message if interested! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agross831 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I have no idea what I'm doing, but I think I created a group for us on Facebook! here's the link, hopefully it works... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1504807033155713/ I did it closed, so you might have to be approved? I guess we'll find out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA1088 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I will also be joining the class of 2018. Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para3732 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I joined the group. Looks like you will have to approve people :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaNice13 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thank you for creating the group! Just a thought, if possible it might be helpful to change the name to Augsburg PA Class of 2018. That way people who don't use this blog and search for a group can find us and don't assume it's just the general undergrad class of 2018 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
