Housing Priority
Priority for housing assignments for New Upper-Division (continuing residents, transfers, undergraduate returning and graduate returning) students are based primarily on the student’s date of application for Housing. Only completed housing applications and contracts will be considered at the time housing assignments are made. Please email the MSU Housing Office at housing@saffairs.msstate.edu to request a desired a roommate. Please note that both students must successfully complete the applicaiton and contract to be considered for roommate pairing.
Housing Assignments
Upper-class/Transfer students should live on campus because of the convenience it provides. Residence halls offer the opportunity to meet new friends, get involved, and find other people with common interests. Residence halls are more than just a place to sleep.
Residents have access to study rooms, and all halls have wireless internet and ethernet connections in the rooms for personal computers. And when you live on campus, you are close to classes and great places to eat, while the Joe Frank Sanderson Recreation Center and the intramural sports RecPlex are just a short walk or shuttle ride away. Halls have ice machines, debit/credit card-friendly/coin-operated laundry machines, and vending machines. The trained staff members have been specially chosen, and they are committed to helping our students.
Continuing students who are current residents and interested in living on campus again can apply through the Renewal Selection Verification Process (RSVP) contract renewal process. RSVP will take place in January 2027. New and transfer students can apply at any time once they have been admitted to the university.
