More than a third of Tech undergraduate students live on campus (including all first-year students). Our lively residential campus is the safest public college in Michigan and offers multiple on-campus housing options ranging from traditional residence halls to apartment-style living.
On-campus dining options include residential dining halls, coffee shops, and other eateries. Students can use their dining plans or pay per visit at any of our on-campus dining locations.
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. First-year students living on campus can select from an unlimited or 19-meal plan in the residential dining halls. 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, each plan offers a number of Dining Dollars each semester that can be used at several retail locations on campus.
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.
