Two cities, twice the opportunity

Hamline’s home sits midway between the downtowns of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The first university in Minnesota and Minneapolis St. Paul, Hamline, is located within walking distance of a variety of restaurants and things to do. You can also hop on the Light Rail train for easy access to both downtowns. The Hamline-Midway neighborhood also offers opportunities for students to live and work around campus.

Around here, I love Pho Pasteur, and I always get lunch there! I also spend a lot of time at the Barnes and Noble in HarMar Mall.
