Go to the Mall of America, check out thel local Grandmas. And Augsburg College is situated next to University of Minnesota, I think ther is over 30 thousnad students there. Minneapolis is a great city. Try to go up north to Duluth or even Canada. Have Fun...

Personal comments
Grandmas, the doorman knew my name at the end of the semester. Besides that Minneapolis got all you need to go cludding, disco watherve. I also think the Lounge was a pretty good place to go late nigths. But you can't party all the time, so a bus trip to the "Big Mall" (Mall of America) in Bloomington was alos a great experience

Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Maybe because of the "survailance" of campus. I situation I'm not used to.
