Sign-up Information

Michigan State University is home to 27 residence halls and three apartment communities in five residential neighborhoods. Students are required to live on campus for their first four semesters at MSU, not including summer semester. For several years, we have looked at the impact that on- and off-campus living has on our undergraduate students. According to MSU’s Office of Institutional Research, undergraduates who live on campus for their first two years at MSU have higher graduation rates than their peers who live on campus only during their first year. 

South Neighborhood

South Neighborhood is located southwest of Spartan Stadium between West Shaw Lane and Trowbridge Road. It is near the Breslin Center, Munn Ice Arena, IM Sports West and outdoor tennis facilities. South Neighborhood is made up of four residence halls (Case, Wonders, Holden and Wilson halls), which all feature coed floors and suite-style rooms.

Apartments

Our apartments are perfect for students searching for a little more independence while staying connected to the perks of living on campus. The apartments at University Village and the newly developed apartments and townhouses at 1855 Place are steps away from the action of campus life while offering numerous on-site amenities.

Brody Neighborhood

Brody Neighborhood is located on the west side of campus just north of the Red Cedar River. Brody is comprised of six residence halls that surround Brody Hall, where many of the neighborhood's common services, including Brody Square dining hall, are located.
