RAs are live‑in student team members in the Residence Education and Housing Services department. RAs assist in supporting an on-campus residential community and have specific responsibility for connecting with students in a particular area. RAs work to establish inclusive communities that foster student academic and social success.
We believe in maintaining an inclusive positive, supportive living environment in the residence halls and apartments. Below you will find many of the offices, resources, and community-based groups and resources who REHS partners in its mission to support Spartans at MSU.

It’s no secret that Michigan State University is a huge place. That’s why it’s a great idea to develop your community of friends and people you can rely on. One of the best ways to build these relationships is by joining a club or organization here on campus, and you can do this without needing to leave your neighborhood! These student body organizations provide opportunities to develop your leadership skills and prepare you for life beyond college.
Michigan State University's living-learning, academic and special interest programs allow students who share similar academic interests or interests in multi-cultural living experiences to live together in a designated residence hall or on a particular residence hall floor.
Many of the living-learning options allow students to attend class with the same group of peers in their residence hall, which enhances friendships and networking and facilitates ease of gatherings and study time.
MSU wants to support the physical and mental health and safety of our students. REHS, in coordination with the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety (DPPS), work to provide a safe and secure living environment for our residents.
Choosing a university is a big decision, and while it usually starts with picking an academic program, there is so much more to consider. You want the comforts of home; you want great food, friends and fun; you want the perfect college experience.
