Summer 2022 Residency will be: June 14-17, 2022. June 14 – 16 from 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM and June 17 from 8:30 AM – 1:00 PM.

Traveling to Residency

Driving to Minnesota

Some students might choose to drive to residency. Even though it won't save you time, it might save you some money, stress, and has the benefit of the comfort of your vehicle. If you are considering this option, keep in mind that you may have to contend with traffic, fatigue, and changing time zones.

Flying to Minnesota

For many students, traveling by air will likely be a more costly option, but it may be their only option depending on how far away from the Graduate School they live. If you plan to fly to MN for residency, you should get your tickets as soon as possible.

​

You will be flying into the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The airport code is MSP.

Recommendations

To minimize costs associated with Residency, we encourage you to connect with one another on travel plans, transportation, etc. Once the semester begins, you can view who is enrolled for your course associated with Residency (IR-606 or IR-708) using the following steps: Log into Populi > Select “My Courses” > Select the course > Select “Roster” on the left side bar.

You will also be added to a “Residency Information Course” in Populi when the semester begins with more detailed information and discussion boards to discuss travel plans. You will be able to access the roster for this course as well.

Airlines

Below are links to various airlines, in which you can compare prices and purchase tickets.

Getting to Center City

Renting a Vehicle (Recommended)

  • Pros- You will have your own transportation for your entire stay. You will be able to control when you leave to return to the airport as opposed to waiting for someone else to pick you up.

  • Cons- This is the most costly option. (To offset this cost, consider splitting the use and cost of the rental vehicle). You need to make reservations in advance to make sure that there is a vehicle available at the time that you land.

Car Rental Companies

Below are links to various rental companies, in which you can compare prices and reserve transportation.

  • Pros- Taxis are readily available at the airport to transport you to your lodging choice (i.e., hotel or friend's house).

  • Cons- This is also a costly option (although not as costly as renting a car) because the Graduate School is about 70-75 minutes away from the airport. It may be harder or impossible for you to get a taxi back to the airport.
