Learn More, Live More, Be More!
Living on campus enhances your college experience, making it more memorable, enjoyable, and successful. Housing & Residential Life provides a student-focused, supportive atmosphere.
Residents enjoy the convenience of being close to classes, a short walk from on-campus dining, and easy access to Flint’s vibrant, growing downtown. Students who live on campus in their first one to two years typically perform better academically and graduate sooner than those who do not.
The amenities make our residence halls the perfect home away from home and an ideal place to study, relax, and build friendships that last a lifetime.

Pre-assignment Placements
Housing & Residential Life supports program and theme housing in each residence hall, aligned with academic, identity and interest areas. Each program has its own requirements that students must agree to fulfill to be pre-assigned.
Residential Learning Communities are affiliated with a campus department and supported by faculty or senior staff. Theme communities are organized around specific areas of focus proposed or renewed each academic year.
