We're hiring Intercultural Aides (ICAs)! ICAs serve collaboratively alongside resident assistants (RAs). Both contribute to building community on the floor and in a residence hall, yet ICAs place their focus on ensuring that the communities being built are both inclusive and vibrant.

When completing your housing preferences, it is important to keep in mind the hierarchy of assignment, meaning some preferences will outweigh others. See below for an explanation of the housing preference hierarchy. Our priority is to maintain roommate groups, given that has been what our Spartans have asked for the most. To do that, you must ensure you fully understand how preferences work.
Michigan State University's on-campus housing system is primarily home to first- and second-year undergraduate students. Graduate students do have options to live throughout the system, including in Owen Hall or our two on-campus apartment communities, 1855 Place and University Village. 1855 Place also offers options for family housing.
In the fall of 2021, the two-year live-on requirement was reinstated. This means that incoming first-year students must live in on-campus housing for the first four semesters they are enrolled, summer term excluded.
The list below outlines the reasons students may be granted an exception to live off campus. Students who qualify for an exception but want to live on campus do not have to submit an exception. Exceptions are only for required students with a desire to live off campus.
Highspeed Wi-Fi is available in all residence halls, 1855 Place and University Village. Students will need to log into the Wi-Fi and register all devices before using MSU Wireless on campus.
If you have questions or Wi-Fi issues, contact the MSU IT Service Desk.
On-campus residents who need to dispose of needles or other sharps are now able to check out a personal sharps' container from their primary service center. Once the container has been filled it can be exchanged or turned in at the primary service center. We ask that all containers are returned at the end of the semester.
