Benefits of Living On Campus Past Your Freshman Year
We hope you are enjoying your experience of living on campus. Don’t worry if you’re
sad about your campus housing chapter coming to an end. It doesn’t have to! By signing
a return housing contract, you can keep living on campus. This allows you to enjoy the benefits that come with
it.
Return Student Contracting
When you sign a housing contract for the 2025-2026 academic school year, you may have
the chance to receive a reduced rate for living on campus in the residence halls.
A new housing contract doesn’t have to mean a new room. You will have the opportunity
to request the same room you are currently in. You could also choose a new space ensuring
you get the living experience that suits your needs best. Take advantage of the early
opportunity to set up your student housing.
Lisa Ortiz, the Director of Housing and Resident Life at Ferris State, shares many
benefits of living on campus. Here are the top 10:
