About Off-Campus Housing Near North Central University
North Central University is a small, faith-based liberal arts university affiliated with the Assemblies of God, located in the Elliot Park neighborhood of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded in 1930, NCU enrolls approximately 1,200 undergraduate students and offers programs in theology, ministry, business, education, and the arts within a Christian community framework. The campus sits just blocks from US Bank Stadium and the light rail network, giving students direct access to the broader Twin Cities metro. Campus life is shaped by the university's Pentecostal heritage, with chapel attendance, spiritual formation, and community standards woven into student expectations. Most freshmen are required to live on campus in university residence halls, while eligible upperclassmen typically rent apartments in the surrounding Elliot Park, Phillips, and Whittier neighborhoods. Minneapolis's competitive rental market means students planning to move off campus should begin their search early in the spring semester. The city's extensive public transit system makes car-free living feasible for many students navigating the neighborhood.
North Central University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
North Central University requires all first-year students to live in campus housing for their freshman year unless they qualify for an exemption. Exemptions are typically granted to students who are married, are 21 or older, or live with a parent or guardian within a commutable distance. Students should contact the Residence Life office early to confirm their housing status before signing any off-campus lease.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Sophomores and upper-division students in good academic and behavioral standing are generally eligible to move off campus. NCU is a faith-based institution and expects students living off campus to abide by community standards outlined in the student handbook. Students interested in off-campus housing should notify the Residence Life office and confirm they meet all eligibility requirements before committing to a lease.
