Spartan Transfer Hub: Off-Campus Housing 101

On this episode of the Spartan Transfer Hub, we sat down with Kristin McCool, the Assistant Director of MSU Off-Campus Life to cover the basics of living off campus. It can be a huge transition to take that leap away from the dorms and dining halls, but we learned that the Office of Community and Student Relations is here to help students from start to finish. Whether you are exploring to see if off-campus life is right for you, looking for roommates, or finding ways to stay connected to campus, TSSC and Off-Campus Life are here to help you every step of the way!
