This module will describe housing assignments and the residential hall system at MSU. Along with on-campus housing, this module will discuss what to expect from your dining plan.
After you have fully committed to your program, you will be asked to inform us of your housing preferences using the Housing Form located in your ViaTRM account.
Once you complete the preference form, our team will share these preferences with the Residential Education Hospitality Services (REHS) team to make your assignment. Approximatley 2 weeks prior to arrival, REHS will reach out to you via email to sign your housing contract. Once signed, you will be able to access your residence hall assignment and roommate information.
Our team will make every effort to honor your housing requests. Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee any particular placement. Additionally, students are only offered one housing option. Therefore, you are encouraged to accept the placement offered.
CONTRACT LENGTH
Your housing contract will be for an entire academic year. There is not a housing contract option for one semester only. If you will only be staying with us for one semester, our office provide instructions towards the end of the semester on how to manually end your contract early (applies only to Fall participants).

Michigan State University's Residence Education and Housing Services office sets housing and dining rates. These rates are outside of our control and are subject to change. To see current housing (and dining) rates, please go to LiveOn's rates page.
Typically, ASP&E students stay within MSU's standard Residence Halls. These are general undergraduate and graduate accommodations that include numerous living options like singles, doubles, and more. With each option comes a difference in room rate. These rates may be slightly different than our living expenses listed here. As such, your total cost may increase or decrease slightly depending on where you are placed.
Owen Hall is a popular accommodation for graduate level and older students. The Owen Hall rates are different than the standard Residence Hall rates and may drastically increase your total cost. Owen Hall Extended is a new housing option that allows students to stay before and after semester dates. This flexibility, however, greatly increases the housing cost.
Your meal plan will give you access to any one of the cafeterias on campus, along with Sparty's Cafes and the new Sparty's Market. If you are living in undergraduate housing, you will automatically be enrolled in the DINEON Silver Plan.
If you have dietary needs, including Halal and Kosher cuisines, MSU cafeterias will be able to accommodate.
