Living on campus places you at the center of the university community, ready for both academic and co-curricular activities. Many students find that MTSU residence halls or apartments are the right choice for them. However, space is limited and granted on a first come, first served basis so make sure to apply as early as possible. Learn more.
Most students at MTSU choose to live off-campus. Many apartment complexes are within walking distance of the university while others offer free shuttles to campus or are along public bus routes. Learn more.
