Where to Look for Off Campus Housing
Our preferred resource is OffCampusHousing.msu.edu - this is an official partner of MSU and safely connects Spartans to local housing options, including apartments, duplexes, houses, and co-operative housing.

If you are living in one of the townships outside of East Lansing, you can view their websites and resources here:
