Campus Life

MBU students are not required to live on campus, but our comfortable, modern dorms offer students a strong sense of community that enhances their college experience.

The housing application can be completed here! There is also a one-time non-refundable $100 housing application fee that can be paid through this portal. It must be completed in order for a student to receive a housing assignment.

Your room is furnished with a desk and chair, dresser, and an extra-long twin-size bed.

Students are allowed to bring extra furniture if it is approved by the Residence Director and the resident’s roommate. The extra furniture should not intrude on the space of others in the room or suite. Sofa sleepers are prohibited.

Pillsbury Huff average dorm room is 15 feet long by 13 feet wide. The ceiling height is roughly 8 1/2 feet tall. North Hall average dorm room is 15 1/2 feet long by 12 1/2 feet wide. Closets are about 4 feet wide.

New students are allowed to move into the dorms during the assigned time of Welcome Weekend

No, the one-time housing application fee is nonrefundable.

Yes, there are laundry facilities in the housing facilities. The fee for use is included in the cost of the room and board, so there is no cost per load.

Visitors of the same gender may visit at any time. If they are staying overnight, they must complete an overnight guest form with the RA on duty. Please see the Handbook of Residential Living for specific guidelines. Guests of the opposite sex may visit in the dorm room during Open Hall times only.

Residents do not have a curfew, but we encourage students to have a schedule that promotes a healthy lifestyle and a successful academic career.

Spectrum U will be made available to students via their personal mobile, laptops, Apple TV, and streaming devices. Spectrum U is not compatible with Roku. More information will be made available to you when you arrive on campus.

   3. Select a point person to start the Roommate group. Have that person log in to eRezLife and select “Roommate Groups” on the left-hand menu.
   4. Select “Create New Roommate Group” and create a unique group name.
   5. Under emails add each person’s MBU student email to the email textbox, then select “save”.
   6. Once you have added their MBU student email to the email text box, they will receive an email that they have been invited to the roommate group.
   7. If you invite someone to your group and they receive the email, they need to log on and accept your invitation to the Roommate Group. If they do not do so, you will notice they do NOT have a green check mark next to their name in the roommate group. Once everyone has a green checkmark next to their name, your roommate group is good to go!

If you have a problem with your roommate(s), the first step is discussing your issues with your roommate. The second step is talking to your RA. If they cannot help remedy the situation, you may request a roommate change after the first two weeks of the semester. Room changes are not guaranteed.

Private room requests must go through the Office of Student Accessibility Services. The deadline to request a private room is June 1.

Students with a school-related reason are allowed to stay in the dorms over closed break. To request to stay in the dorms over a closed break, you must complete a Closed Break Request Form. If your request is approved, a daily fee will be charged to your student account.

Residents can have overnight guests of the same gender who are between the ages of 17 and 24. They must have approval from the Residence Director and register the guest with the RA on duty.

Our Residence Life staff values the ideas and opinions of our residents. Students can contact their Residence Assistant or Residence Director directly. There are also surveys conducted at the end of each semester where students are encouraged to voice their opinions and suggestions.

Vacating students are leaving the dorm and are not returning, while checked-out students plan to return after breaks. In both cases, students must make an appointment with their Residence Assistant to complete paperwork and perform a room inspection.

Students who are taking summer classes or who have on-campus jobs are allowed to stay in the dorms during summer break. Students must fill out a Summer Housing contract and will be billed a monthly fee for housing. Meal plans are not provided during the summer.
