Housing

Your residence hall is way more than just a place to crash. It's where you'll make great new friends and create some of your most memorable Michigan Tech experiences. Whether you prefer a bustling environment or a more cozy, old-fashioned vibe, you're sure to find a spot that fits your unique personality.

Get to know your housing options at Michigan Tech. Our residence halls—Douglass Houghton Hall, McNair Hall, and Wadsworth Hall—each have their own style, personality, and individual "houses" geared toward helping students develop community. Hillside Place offers apartment-style living to transfer students, second-year students or higher, students age 21 and older, and international students.

Plus, a new residence hall is currently under construction with plans to open in fall 2025. This new hall is on track for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification and will feature a vibrant and eco-friendly living space for 516 additional Huskies, modern and sustainable details, integrated technologies, and state-of-the-art amenities and facilities.

Dining

Food is brain power. And you'll need a lot of that at Tech. Our meal plan provides unlimited access to residential dining halls. There is no limit to the number of times you may enter a dining hall to eat a meal or stop in for a snack or drink. If you have a class, lab, or work schedule conflict, arrangements can be made to pick up a meal at a dining hall. In addition to unlimited meals, each plan offers a number of Dining Dollars each semester.

A variety of entrées are offered at each meal, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and wellness options.  A variety of culinary concepts are presented in the three dining halls—and throughout the day—to satisfy cravings and to comfort and fuel students depending on their needs. Dining Services is happy to work with students who have allergies or other dietary needs.

Dining Dollars are pre-loaded on your student ID and are accepted at retail dining locations on campus and at some vending machines. You can add more Dining Dollars to your account any time.
