The Parker

The Parker offers a unique living opportunity for Luther students who are involved in the nursing program, Rochester Semester Program, and student teachers and social work intern students based on availability.

Luther College leases 38 micro-units for student housing at The Parker building located in downtown Rochester. The purpose of this housing option is to create an atmosphere similar to living in a residence hall, though embedded within Rochester. Rochester is a diverse and dynamic city that is a global medical destination where Luther students have the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on training in a real world environment.
