Residence Life

Fountain Terrace

Fountain Terrace is an apartment community that strives to offer you a place to call home, a place where you can belong, and a place to be who you are.

Located a mile and a half from the center of Bethel's campus, you have the unique opportunity to experience life in real communities in your apartment building and the New Brighton neighborhood.

At Fountain, we want to get to know you, who you are, and what you bring to this community. As a staff we strive to make this a place where you can honor, learn, protect, and create what you truly love.

As primarily upper class housing, we have tailored our approach to meet the needs of those in their busier junior and senior years. Therefore, programming is provided that will holistically encourage and renew our residents, while offering many new and unique opportunities in which to get involved. Programming will be provided for individual apartments as well as the whole Fountain community. If you are interested in knowing more about Fountain Terrace, please feel free to contact me by email at e-white@bethel.edu.
