Congratulations on becoming a Bulldog and welcome to Housing & Residence Life! We're here to guide you through your move to life on campus.
Step by Step Guide
Ferris State University policy requires all single students to live in University Residence Halls for two full academic semesters, unless they have reached the age of 19 prior to September 1, of the current academic year, or plan to continue living in the permanent home with parents, and the home is within 50 road miles of the University. Students who are eligible to live off campus may qualify for certain residence hall housing incentives. See our Residential Communities webpage for the full housing requirements.
Can't decide where to live? Check out our Where to Live webpage to compare communities, amenities, location, etc.
Interested in a living learning community? Check out our Living Learning Communities webpage for more information.
Students that are 19 years of age prior to September 1 also have the option of living in our apartments and suites.
Take the free Yada Assessment now to help you choose a roommate based on your personal roadmap to incredible relationships called “the science of you."
Once you complete the 15 minute assessment you will receive a full report, a snapshot, and a suggestion of matches for potential roommates.

Move-In days for Fall 2023 are planned for Thursday, August 24 through Friday, August 25. Each building has a designated day and time for their move-in. You must sign up for a time slot via MyHousing. If you move in over the weekend, you will go directly to your residence hall. If you have any questions, please call (231) 591-3745.
As a new student, you might be wondering what you can and cannot bring to campus. Check our full List of Items of recommended items and items you cannot bring.
