Congratulations on your decision to attend Mesa State. Our on campus experience offers students a unique opportunity to make connections within the college community. As students move away from home, they find another home on campus. Our size and proximity quickly give students a sense of belonging, no matter if you are living on the south end of campus or on the north end of campus. The residence halls offer the convenience of hassle free living.
There are no separate bills to pay, no dishes or grocery shopping (when on a meal plan), and no hunting for parking-you’re already here! The on campus experience is vital to your college success. National studies show that students living on campus are more likely to complete college, get involved, have positive faculty relations and student friendships, and feel better about their overall college experience.
We are glad you chose Mesa State. Let us know if we can answer any questions.

Mesa State College has a required on campus residency policy. All freshmen and sophomore students who are single, under 21 years of age and not residing with their parents in Mesa County are required to live on campus, provided that space is available. Any exceptions to this policy must be submitted to the Housing Office with appropriate documentation and then approved by the Director of Housing and Residence Life.
