Housing & Residential Life
It's an outstanding opportunity to get involved, meet new people and help ensure your academic success. For these reasons, first-year students are required to live on campus. Housing is first-come, first-served - apply today! Check out our online Guide to Living, Learning, and Dining at MSU Moorhead.
Learning Communities
You will definitely find a Learning Community that fits your interests and helps you achieve your goals. Don’t worry if you’re undecided about a major; we offer several themed communities that are open to any major, as well as an Exploration Community that will help you figure out what your major might be! We have Learning Communities for first year Dragons, as well as Upperclass and Transfer students.
You’re steps away from classes, study groups, social gatherings and athletic events.
The relationships you form and the experiences you share will positively impact your college experience.
You’ll embrace opportunities to grow intellectually and socially, get involved and make a positive difference.
You may be invited to join National Residence Hall Honorary, an honor society recognizing the top 1% of students living in residence halls.
All residence hall rooms come with the essentials—desk, chair, closet or wardrobe, dresser, digital cable, Wi-Fi access and twin XL bed. From there, you can make your room feel like home!
All residence halls include study, community and floor lounges, laundry rooms, kitchenettes, vending machines, Internet and cable TV.
We have many opportunities for on-campus housing for upperclass students. Most transfer students choose to live on campus because it’s the best way to become familiarized with your new campus. While upperclass/transfer students can choose any building, we have three buildings specifically for you: Nelson Hall Upperclass Singles, Holmquist Suites, and John Neumaier Apartments. We also have two Learning Communities for upperclass students: Rainbow Dragon in South Snarr and College of Arts, Media & Communication in Dahl Hall.
