Housing Information for Entering Students

The following information is provided by the Office of Student Affairs and Services. If you have any questions please contact the Office of Student Affairs and Services by email or at (517) 353-7140.

The East Lansing and Lansing communities offer a variety of housing options, from subsidized apartment complexes to townhouses and condominiums, most within a few minutes' drive from the MSU campus. Other convenient surrounding communities include Okemos, Haslett, Holt, Williamston, Mason, Waverly, and Grand Ledge. Arrangements for fall housing should be made as soon as possible. Please try to arrange housing so that you may move in by August 20, 2009.

Available housing options include:

On-Campus Residence Hall
Owen Graduate Center, located on campus, provides accommodations for graduate and professional students, post-doctoral fellows and research assistants. Housing fees for Owen Hall include accommodations, local telephone, and a limited amount for meals. Both single room and double room occupancy is available. Occupancy is limited to single students. Additional information on housing options for graduate students can be found on the Housing Services website.

On-Campus University Apartments
The University owns and operates several apartment complexes that are available to MSU students. For detailed information about University Village, Spartan Village, and Cherry Lane apartments, visit the University Apartments website.

Off-Campus Housing
East Lansing and the surrounding area provide a wide variety of living options from apartments to townhouses to single rooms, many within a few minutes' drive from campus. Most medical students choose to live off–campus. If you have a vehicle, the Lansing, Haslett, Okemos, and Williamston communities are within reasonable proximity to MSU. Be sure to indicate that you are a medical student when you contact apartments and housing agents. You can find detailed information about many area apartments in the the Mid Michigan Guide to Apartments or the Lansing Rental Guide.

CHM/COM/CVM/LAW Housing and Roommate Match-Up Service
Post a roommate or apartment request or look for a roommate or apartment on the Housing/Roommate Match-Up Service website. This site is provided solely for the use of students enrolled in the College of Human Medicine, the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the College of Veterinarian Medicine, or the College of Law. When posting a request, using your MSU email address for your contact information is preferred. You must indicate within the text of your request that you are a CHM student or your post will be deleted.

Housing Purchases
All students should expect to relocate at the end of Year I or Year II to one of the clinical campuses, except in cases of documented hardships. Students are strongly advised, therefore, not to purchase a home or expect to otherwise "settle" in the local area.
