The Travel Academy is located 4 to 5 blocks from the Mall of America. We rent 2 bedroom apartments located about one block from the Mall and 5 blocks from our facility. These apartments are completely furnished, including full kitchens with dishes, dining rooms and living rooms with basic cable TV. The 2 bedrooms are furnished with 2 single beds in each bedroom, including pillows and linens. The bathroom has a separate dressing area.
Apartments rent by the week with all utilities included; $150 with 1 or 2 students, $100 for 3 students and $75 for 4 students in the apartment (prices subject to change if student numbers change in your apartment at any time). We also require a $250 security deposit, due one month before classes. The deposit will be refunded to you if you leave the apartment in the same condition as when you checked in. If you would like to prepay your rent 1 month in advance, we only charge you $100 per week (if you end up with 3 roommates we refund you $25/week). The Travel Academy will do all we can to meet your accommodation requests but cannot guarantee the number of students in each apartment at any time, however if you prepay your rent you will not pay more than $100/week. All roommates will be of the same sex if requested. Our students have found that having a roommate has been enjoyable and helpful.

If you have a car at any time YOU MUST HAVE A PARKING PERMIT, which you will receive from The Travel Academy upon notification. If you have a guest, they must have a GUEST PARKING PERMIT and must park in the designated guest parking areas. Please see the Leasing Office for Guest Parking Permits.
