Story

Ferris State University Housing and Residence Life has three different housing choices for our current students:

Ferris State University offers a number of residence hall options to accommodate your preferences. All Ferris residence halls are completely smoke free. All rooms have internet and cable connections. Most halls have wireless internet as well. Each hall is equipped with laundry facilities as well as a small kitchenette. Students in these halls must select one of the following dining plans: Bulldog Anytime Platinum, Bulldog Anytime Gold, Bulldog Anytime Silver, or Bulldog Anytime Bronze.

East Campus Suites is neither a residence hall nor an apartments. Each of the three 3-story buildings will be home to 100 students. Each building will house 24 4-bedroom suites and 2 2-bedroom suites. Every student will have their own furnished bedroom and will share a full bathroom with one other student. A furnished living room and full kitchen combine to provide the feeling of home in each suite.

Ferris State University provides 288 University Apartments to meet the needs of single students and students with families. The University Apartments are divided into two different complexes: West Campus and South Campus.
