Welcome to Residential Living—Residence Education

Welcome to the Michigan Tech family! We’re pleased to have you join our residential communities. During your time with us, we hope that you take advantage of the many social and educational opportunities we offer. 

Your living environment plays an important role in your Michigan Tech experience.  The residence halls are a place to build relationships, learn life skills, and develop your worldview. Living on campus brings many benefits. Students are more likely to persist to graduation if they live in residence halls where they build the skills to succeed in life beyond college. 

As a resident, you have the opportunity to join others in a cooperative community, provided that you live by a few guidelines and treat others with respect and consideration. Through reading this Living Guide, you can learn ways to make your time on campus safe and enjoyable for you and your peers. If you have any questions about the contents of the Living Guide, please ask your resident assistant or residence education coordinator.
