What distinguishes Augsburg from many other private liberal arts colleges is our location in the heart of Minneapolis –St. Paul area, consistently ranked among the top American communities in quality of life.

Augsburg’s campus is a great place to live during your college years. Within blocks of campus are the colorful Cedar-Riverside, Phillips, and Seward neighborhoods, famed for their eclectic mix of theaters, shops and ethnic restaurants.

And downtown Minneapolis is just a 10-minute bus ride. It’s home to arts, culture, and the Target Center where the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx professional basketball teams play.
