===St. Paul=== [[File:McNeal Hall Minnesota 5.jpg|thumb|McNeal Hall houses the [[Goldstein Museum of Design]]]] The St. Paul campus is in the city of [[Falcon Heights, Minnesota|Falcon Heights]], about {{cvt|3|mi}} from the Minneapolis campus. The default place name for the ZIP code serving the campus is "St. Paul", but "Falcon Heights" is also recognized for use in the street addresses of all campus buildings. The [[University of Minnesota College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences|College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences]], including the University of Minnesota Food Industry Center and many other disciplines from social sciences to [[vocational education]], are on this campus. It also includes the College of Continuing and Professional Studies,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ccaps.umn.edu/ |title=COLLEGE OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES |publisher=cce.umn.edu |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-date=October 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171002210618/https://ccaps.umn.edu/ |url-status=live}}</ref> College of Veterinary Medicine,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cvm.umn.edu/ |title=College of Veterinary Medicine |publisher=cvm.umn.edu |date=May 16, 2012 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-date=July 25, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130725233339/http://www.cvm.umn.edu/ |url-status=live}}</ref> and College of Biological Sciences.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbs.umn.edu/ |title=College of Biological Sciences |publisher=cbs.umn.edu |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-date=June 30, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130630184345/http://www.cbs.umn.edu/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The extensive lawns, flowers, trees, and surrounding University research farm plots create a greener and quieter campus. It has a grassy mall of its own and can be a bit of a retreat from the more urban Minneapolis campus. Prominent on this campus is Bailey Hall, the St. Paul campus' only residence hall. Campus Connector buses run every five minutes on weekdays when school is in session, and every 20 minutes on weekends, allowing students easy access to both campuses. The Continuing Education and Conference Center,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ccaps.umn.edu/continuing-education-and-conference-center |title=Continuing Education and Conference Center |publisher=University of Minnesota |access-date=April 19, 2022 |archive-date=April 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412133112/https://ccaps.umn.edu/continuing-education-and-conference-center |url-status=dead}}</ref> which serves over 20,000 conference attendees per year, is also on the St. Paul campus. The St. Paul campus is home to the College of Design's Department of Design, Housing, and Apparel (DHA). Located in McNeal Hall, DHA includes the departmental disciplines of apparel design, graphic design, housing studies, interior design, and retail merchandising. McNeal Hall is also the home to the University's [[Goldstein Museum of Design]]. The St. Paul campus is known to University students and staff for the Meat and Dairy Salesroom,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://fscn.cfans.umn.edu/researchandservices/dairysalesroom/ |title=Dairy Salesroom |publisher=Department of Food Science and Nutrition, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, University of Minnesota |date=January 20, 2010 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130523050352/http://fscn.cfans.umn.edu/researchandservices/dairysalesroom/ |archive-date=May 23, 2013}}</ref> which sells animal food products (such as ice cream, cheese, and meat) produced in the university's state-certified pilot plant by students, faculty and staff.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ansci.umn.edu/meatlab.htm |title=Meat Science |publisher=Department of Animal Science, University of Minnesota |access-date=July 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120715163807/http://www.ansci.umn.edu/meatlab.htm |archive-date=July 15, 2012}}</ref> The St. Paul campus borders the [[Minnesota State Fair]]grounds, which hosts the largest [[state fair]] in the United States by daily attendance.<ref>{{cite web |title=2006 Detailed Daily Attendance |publisher=Minnesota State Fair |url=http://www.mnstatefair.org/pages/attendance.html |access-date=July 17, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928083455/http://www.mnstatefair.org/pages/attendance.html |archive-date=September 28, 2007 }}</ref> The fair lasts 12 days, from late August through Labor Day. The grounds also serve a variety of functions during the rest of the year. Although the Falcon Heights [[North American Numbering Plan|area code]] is 651, the university telephone system trunk lines use Minneapolis [[Telephone exchange|exchanges]] and its 612 area code.
