Welcome to Mississippi State University and the Department of Housing and Residence Life! We are delighted you will join our on-campus family for the Fall 2009/Spring 2010 academic year.

Our residence halls open on Saturday, August 8, 2009 at 8 a.m. This opening day is known as "Movin' You to MSU" (MVNU2MSU) and will be an exciting time for students, parents, and the Mississippi State University Family!

What should I expect at MVNU2MSU?

There will be cars, luggage, and people everywhere! Traffic will move slowly, but constantly, into the residence halls. Please follow instructions provided by MSU Parking Services and the MSU Police on where to park. Also, please observe 10-minute time limit in the unloading zones so that all students will have an opportunity to unload their vehicles.

How do I check in to my new room?

If you move to campus on Saturday, August 8 between 8 a.m.-5 p.m., then you will check in to your room at the Humphrey Coliseum. The check-in process will shut down from 5-6 p.m. to give us time to transition from the Coliseum to the residence halls. After 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 8, please check in to your room at your assigned hall’s front desk. Staff will be available at the front desks 24 hours a day.

*Please note that if you are assigned to Aiken Village or Arbour Acres, then you do NOT need to check in at the Humphrey Coliseum. Please go straight to Aiken Village or Arbour Acres.

Who can help me move in?

There will be MVNU2MSU students, staff, faculty, and community volunteers available to help with your move. They will wear MVNU2MSU volunteer t-shirts, so help will be identifiable for you. Although they are glad to help you, please be aware that (legally) departmentsMississippi State University and the Department of Housing and Residence Life is not responsible for any damage incurred in the process.

Also, while we will have volunteers available, if you are bringing a large quantity of belongings or heavy pieces, you should bring family, friends, etc. with you to carry those items to your new room.
