Students may use their meal plan in the University Center (UCEN). For more information, check out Dining Services.

Residence hall government dues are added to the Student Account statement as a one-time special assessment.  Once billed, this amount is nonrefundable and is not prorated in any way.  The amount is $20.00 and will be used to support the operation of the Hall Council in the residence hall.

Residents of First Street Residence Hall will be able to bring cars to campus.  Parking for residence hall students will be in the Mill Street Parking Deck.  Below, you will find important information regarding parking on campus found in “A Resident’s Guide to Community Living”.

Student parking permits are required for all UM-Flint parking lots. Parking permits can be obtained from Information Technology Services (ITS). It is a violation of the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities and UM-Flint Traffic Control Orders to participate in any fraudulent use, manufacture, or duplication of a University parking permit. Go to http://www.umflint.edu/safety/services/parkingpermit.htm for additional information on obtaining a parking permit.

State law requires registration and insurance coverage on any automobile parked in a residence hall parking lot, including those with a University-issued parking permit. The University and Housing and Residential Life assume no liability for theft or damage to a vehicle parked in a University-owned parking lot.

Based upon several studies that have been done over the years, it was determined that student housing on the UM-Flint campus would be most successful if it was located within walking distance of the business district along Saginaw Street in Downtown Flint. This location will create an ideal synergy between the campus and the city. Not only will the residence hall be close to businesses, but it will be in close proximity to the Recreation Center, the Harding Mott University Center, the Frances Willson Thompson Library, and classroom buildings.

Intramural sports already exist at UM-Flint, and there is a committee that is exploring the possibility of other athletic programs.

We use the residence hall year-round, including during the spring and summer months for conferences, campus, and other activities.

The entire Flint community is enthusiastic and supportive of student housing at UM-Flint. Entities such as MTA and the Farmer’s Market, as well as other local businesses continually meet with university representatives to work on providing additional services to accommodate our residential students, as well as the other 6,000 students who commute to UM-Flint everyday.

There is considerable demand for residential living near the campus, and we welcome all efforts to develop sites in Downtown Flint for student housing.

The facility is a four-story structure, with 310 beds for students. The total square footage will be approximately 101,163 gross square feet.
