An application for housing may be made anytime prior to or after admission to Mississippi State University. All assignments are based on this priority number. The earlier you complete your housing application, the sooner you are assigned a number. The lower your priority number, the higher your priority. T o apply, you can send in a written application or you can complete the application online.
H ousing at Mississippi State is considered an option and a privilege.
No one is required to live on campus, but we strongly encourage it. We believe our residence halls have much more to offer than any other housing option. In past years, ninety percent of our freshmen agreed. However, if you choose not to live on campus after you have completed your application and contract, you must cancel your room in writing by following the deadlines ourlined in the contract. Otherwise you will be held responsible for all housing fees.
