Dahl Hall
A campus favorite, Dahl Hall is ideally located near Comstock Memorial Union, Kise Commons and just a short walk to any on-campus building. This coed hall fosters a strong sense of camaraderie and community. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and drawers are ideal for storage. Each of Dahl’s three floors features a centrally located lounge that doubles as the floor’s social hub.
Academics are an important part of the Dahl experience. Study rooms on each floor offer a quiet, comfortable place to review the morning’s lecture notes, outline that term paper or study for an upcoming midterm.

We strongly encourage our students to pursue renters insurance. You may arrange for renter's insurance through your own insurance company. MSUM does not insure personal belongings in student rooms. While we hope students will never need to file a renter's insurance claim, it is important to be prepared just in case.
Residents can submit a work request for their room via their myHousing portal. Log in and click the Maintenance tab. This is also where residents may view comments from Maintenance staff regarding the work. To submit work orders for public spaces in your hall, such as the bathroom, contact your RA or Hall Desk.
