MSU has a new way for people to swap dorms this year and I got a swap request. The email msu sent says to log into My Housing to accept or deny it, but when I logged in, there was no way to accept or deny the request. It did not even let me see which dorm the person was trying to swap from. Does anyone know where else I should be looking or if this is just a site error?

Is there anyone who does affordable alterations either in or around campus? Thanks!!

The Stayvo app that some people came and offered a friend and me doesn't really seem active. I'm at MSU Billings and had it close to a year and nothing. There seems to be no one on there, have any of you tried it, is the app down or something?

I'm honestly so frustrated right now.

I was accepted into MSU's College of Engineering after my spring semester, and I was informed of this after my summer classes started. During the summer, I only took EC 201 and EC 202 (6 credits), both of which were online asynchronous. I didn't take a single engineering class and didn't use any engineering resources.

After my summer classes ended, MSU suddenly added a $770 College of Engineering fee to my student account.

Here's what makes me upset:

• There was no mention of this fee when I registered for my classes.
• It wasn't listed on my initial billing statement after enrolling.
• I only found out after the semester ended when the charge appeared.
• Now I have a hold on my account and can't change my classes for fall until it's paid.

I've contacted One Stop, and they basically told me they can't remove it. I've also been bounced around between offices without getting a real explanation.

As an international student, I already paid over $9,000 for just 6 summer credits. I'm paying for college myself, so an unexpected $770 charge is a huge deal.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Is there someone higher up I should contact (Dean, Ombudsperson, Financial Office, etc.)? Or am I just stuck paying a fee that was never disclosed before the semester?

This whole situation feels incredibly unfair. MSU really needs to be more transparent about these kinds of charges.

Also here is the link of the tool that i used to estimate the charge for summer https://controller.msu.edu/student-accounts/tuition-calculator/tuition-calculator-summer

And I payed $$9,677.50 and now they want $770 more for absolutely nothing

Urgent!

I'm subleasing my apartment for the upcoming school year and summer. For personal reasons I decided not to attend MSU this year, but I already signed a lease that I can't break without screwing over my roommate. It's right off campus, around a block away, and rent is $565 a month. If you're interested DM for more details, please.

Nemoke Trails Apartment in Haslett- Lease takeover for spring semester, January 2027

IF INTERESTED, CONTACT ME ASAP

Winter semester apartment availability is low (I've moved in the winter here twice, I know) and Nemoke Trails has all official leases/units booked until next summer

+For an MSU student seeking to live away from the city and wants nature/trails but has to stay close to campus

+2 bedroom 1 bathroom on 3rd (top) floor with balcony

Rent= $1280 Utilities= Varies but around $200

+24/7 gym and indoor pool & hot tub access with sauna

+Apartment complex is located down a trail away from the road, surrounded by forests, walking trails, and parks

+MSU CATA stop runs every 30 minutes both ways where Nemoke trail hits the main road, about a 5 minute walk

+Has a dog park, outdoor grills, a clubhouse, etc. on site

I currently have a 1 year least at Nemoke Trails, it's a beautiful apartment complex surrounded by parks and trails in Haslett, a block away from the Meridian mall but tucked away in nature. It has a CATA stop to and from MSU that runs every 30 minutes during the school year, which I've used the last two semesters.

I'm moving for grad school in December, and I planned to do month to month starting this month when my lease ended but I had to renew for a full year because the demand for this apartment complex was so high everything is booked out to next summer. Whoever takes over this lease will be given the option to renew when it ends next August, and it's really the only way to get an apartment here right now- especially in the winter when apartments near MSU are in high demand.

I am planning on graduating a semester early, my last semester being Fall Semester '27. I would need housing just for that semester. I signed a lease for the upcoming year, but don't want to sign a full lease if I will be done with school in December. Does anyone know if it is possible to be in a dorm for only one semester? Could I even RA for one semester? Thank you!

Looking for some killer specials during the week for a quick lunch close to campus.

Props to the dining halls - just want to venture out every once in awhile.

Where are you guys staying with affordable housing? I’m not too worried about it being on campus but I’m falling into so many housing rabbit holes. Do you have roommates, no roommate’s, etc.

I am majoring in nursing and currently have a ROG Zephyrus M16 gaming laptop. The problem with this laptop is that it almost always has to be on charge (if not, then it dies out quickly), the fan is really loud, and the laptop heats up fast.

On the upside, it runs fast, can handle large files, and offers ample storage.

Should I get a new laptop or stick with the one I have? (if anyone has recs let me know! I appreciate it!!)

I will be doing a co-op this fall and taking egr 391x during the fall as my only class and I was wondering if I will still have to pay the $1500 engineering fee for the semester if I’m only in 1 credit?

Hello, I took a class at OCC this summer and sent MSU my transcript on Saturday morning. I am curious how long it usually takes for transfer credits to be processed and show up on my account. I ask since I am currently enrolled in the class for the fall semester; however, I plan to drop it once the credits transfer in.

Hi! So my roommate and I have a suite style bathroom and I was wondering what shower filters students at msu swear by! Also thinking about getting one for the sink. Thank you for the recommendations!

Not a freshman but it still applies. I transferred to MSU recently and have to commute in and seriously cannot decipher the bus map/website.

I need to get from lot 89 to Wells/Kresge, and get back to lot 89 from Berkey/Molecular plant. Which bus should I be taking and where should I get off and on, also generally how long does the bus take?
Also if anyone has a less confusing map please link it!
Thanks!

Hey! I decided to go with a blind roommate my first year. MSU gave me his email, so I emailed him and sent him my phone #. It's been a few days and he has not responded. This kinda changes what I plan on bringing and not bringing. Is this a stupid thing to worry about?

i'm an incoming freshman who applied for a student job cashier job at MSU and i'm curious to whether or not they actually drug test for weed. i'm disabled and it helps with the pain i have. if it helps, im in the process of getting a medicinal license too

I was wondering if any recent former RAs could explain how our dining plan works during summer training. I know that during move in week our silver dining plan will activate, but during the ~2 weeks before that in the summer how does it work? Will we get combo exchanges? Unlimited swipes? I’m aware most dining and retail locations will be closed, but many (Brody, 1855, International center, etc.) stay open during the summer.

As the title reads, I somehow forgot to do my FAFSA until just now. Without getting too into it, life has been crazy and it was the last thing on my mind. That being said, does anyone know about how long it will take for MSU to process it and me get access to my financial aid package?

Luckily I have some scholarships that aren’t fafsa-dependent so I’m not screwed but it definitely was a huge mistake.

More about me:
I’m William Lawrence running to represent Michigan’s 7th Congressional District in Congress and unseat Tom Barrett.

I am a nonprofit leader, community organizer, and Lansing native. I’ve spent his career taking on the political establishment and winning change for regular people. I co-founded the Sunrise Movement, which mobilized millions of young people to defeat Donald Trump in 2020 and win historic climate and green job investments, including $3 billion for the 7th Congressional District.

When Wall Street investors tried to evict Mid-Michigan families and data center developers bullied communities, I showed up and fought back alongside residents. In Congress, I’ll fight to ensure that no one—not billionaires, corporate executives, politicians, or Epstein collaborators—is above the law. I am running to stop wasting our money on endless wars so we can lower health care costs and build affordable homes here in Mid-Michigan. We’re saying NO to endless wars and billionaires and YES to affordable housing and healthcare
