Get to Know Your Neighborhood, Spartans!
MSU is a big campus, but MSU Neighborhoods helps it feel manageable. Each neighborhood has its own vibe and features, as well as offers a wide range of programs, activities and support services for students.
Each neighborhood also includes an engagement center, which serves as a main access point to important resources to help you adjust to your class load, decide on your major, and work toward graduation.

Campus Tours
While we are not touring in residence halls this summer, outdoor campus tours are still available for booking through mid-August at admissions.msu.edu/visit. You're encouraged to check out our 360-degree virtual room tours to get an idea of the layout of your space! 

MSU's interactive maps website is also a helpful resource when learning the layout of campus.

Eating at State

This fall, Spartans will have even more options across campus when dining on campus, including all-you-care-to-eat, enhanced Grab & Go, and mobile ordering. Students with an on-campus Silver, Gold or Platinum dining plan will also have 12 Combo-X-Change meals per week to redeem at retail locations like Starbucks, Sparty’s Market, Panera Bread and FujiSan sushi.

While you will have great options right in your neighborhood, we encourage you to explore other dining options across MSU. Your plan is good at any dining hall on campus! Visit eatatstate.com or follow us on social @EatatState for the latest info.
