Guest Housing

Michigan State University’s guest housing options are conveniently located on campus and designed to support both short- and long-term housing needs for faculty, staff and visiting scholars as well as their families.

Staff and faculty relocating to the East Lansing area or experiencing life events who require temporary housing are invited to stay at either Owen Hall or the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center.

Visiting scholars requiring housing during their time at MSU are invited to stay in either of the following guest housing locations, depending on the duration of their stay.
