Bethlehem College and Seminary is a non-residential campus and therefore does not have dormitories. Instead, many of our students live in the surrounding Minneapolis neighborhoods, often in housing owned and leased by friends of Bethlehem Baptist Church and Bethlehem College and Seminary. We aim to refer students to affordable and safe housing options, but ultimately cannot guarantee housing.
Our Housing Coordinator will intentionally assist incoming single college freshmen, as they are expected to live in freshman housing during their entire first year at Bethlehem College. The Housing Coordinator will send a survey to all single college freshmen to begin the housing process.
Married students, as well as all seminary students, can expect referrals and some assistance but are ultimately responsible for their own housing arrangements.
