About Off-Campus Housing Near Hamline University
Hamline University is a small Methodist-affiliated liberal arts university in the Midway neighborhood of St Paul, Minnesota, enrolling approximately 1,500 undergraduates and a similar number of graduate students. Founded in 1854 as the first university in Minnesota, Hamline sits along Hewitt Avenue in a dense, walkable urban neighborhood bounded by Snelling and Lexington Avenues, two major commercial corridors with restaurants, shops, and transit connections. The campus blends historic brick buildings with modern academic facilities, anchored by a tight residential core where most first- and second-year students live. The surrounding Midway area is one of St Paul's most transit-rich neighborhoods, served by the METRO Green Line light rail at multiple stops within easy walking distance of campus. Students enjoy quick access to the dining, nightlife, and cultural resources of both St Paul and Minneapolis, connected by a single light rail corridor. Hamline's relatively compact size fosters a close-knit academic community, and the surrounding residential blocks offer a healthy off-campus housing market shaped by generations of university students.
Hamline University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Hamline University requires all first-year students to live on campus in university-managed residence halls for their inaugural year. This policy is designed to support student transition, foster community, and ensure access to academic and wellness resources during the critical first semester. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis for students who commute from a parent or guardian's home within a defined distance.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Students who have completed their first year at Hamline are generally eligible to move off campus beginning in their sophomore year. Students who are 21 or older, veterans, married, or living with a dependent may also qualify for off-campus exemptions regardless of class year. Students should confirm their eligibility with the Office of Residential Life before signing any external lease.
