Rasmussen University Bloomington Campus

Need a quick bite? Check out some of these spots:

• In the building: Ike’s Food & Cocktails on the first floor & Dakota’s Café on the second floor are convenient options.
• Looking for more? El Loro, Jimmy John’s, Olive Garden, Pancheros and Joe Senser’s are all a short drive from campus, located just across interstate 494.

Here are some of our students’ favorite study spots:

• Centennial Lakes is a go-to for our students, perfect for picnics, studying by the water or just taking a break.
• Hyland Lake Park Reserve offers everything from beautiful landscapes, a play area for your kids, an 18-hole disc golf course, a nature center and ski hills.
• There are several coffee shops nearby, like Caribou Coffee, Starbucks and Dunn Brothers. If you’re looking for a smaller, more local option, we suggest Mugshots Coffee or The Grind Coffee and Creamery in Bloomington.

Being the fifth-largest city by population in Minnesota, the area is buzzing with things to do. The campus is just ten minutes from the Mall of America and Nickelodeon Universe and 20 minutes from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. Bush Lake Beach is ten minutes from campus and is a great spot to unwind in the warm months. For those interested in learning more about the stories that shape Minnesota’s history, we recommend a trip to Historic Fort Snelling, just ten miles and 15 minutes east of campus.

A covered breezeway connects the five-level parking ramp to the building, perfect for rainy days and the cold winter months.

In 2020, Rasmussen College became Rasmussen University to address the shifts we’ve made as an institution to provide innovative programs and workforce-ready education to help our students and graduates navigate a rapidly changing market. Our name changed, but our institution mission remains the same.
