Residence Life and Housing
The Art Institutes International Minnesota (Ai Minnesota) serves the student by establishing a solid foundation in a community environment that enhances a student's well being through opportunities for social interaction, programming, and services that provide for his/her basic needs. Studies show that time spent living in student housing increases your chances of success, both in the classroom and outside of it. In addition, a student can include the housing costs in his/her financial plan.

The Residence Life & Housing Office is dedicated to the task of helping you meet your housing needs throughout your stay at Ai Minnesota.  The living arrangement you choose is important to your well being and success.

Students are encouraged to call suitemates in advance to coordinate sharing of the space, small appliances and electronics. Students who have a specific person they would like as a suitemate should contact the Residence Life and Housing Office at (800) 777-3643, extension 6835.
