Student housing isn't what it used to be. Just visit one of the dozens of new apartment buildings that have popped up around the U of M campus. We'd live at Stadium Village Flats simply because it offers one of the best locales on campus. It's just a few blocks from Coffman Union and a new light-rail transit stop is directly outside the building's lobby. Plus, there's a CVS/Pharmacy that includes a mini-grocery mart on the main floor of the building. 850 Washington Av. SE., Mpls.; 612-877-4244, stadiumvillageflats.com
