Living at SVSU
As a first year student, you get to pick a general underclassmen dorm or choose to live with a cohort of students who share your interests: from staying fit to volunteering or growing as a leader. All freshmen live in either suite-style or apartment style housing, which means plenty of personal space and no awkward sharing of hall bathrooms. At SVSU, dorms are spacious to help you and your friends enjoy life beyond main campus and the classroom. 70% of freshmen choose to live on campus.

The student leader for my alternative spring break trip told me she saw great potential in me. It made me feel like, 'I can do this.' Now as an R.A., I work to create the same supportive environment for my residents."
