Hi there,
Congrats on your acceptance! I am a first year student at MSUCOM and live about 5-7mins away from campus at Club Meridian Apts. right outside of East Lansing. The apts. are pretty nice and have tennis courts, an outdoor pool, indoor sauna and jacuzzi, a fitness center, covered parking and a lot of peace and quiet!
The rent isn't too high, but it's more pricey than some of the other places because it's geared toward grad students and adults rather than " typical students." I've been very fortunate because it's extremely easy to study here. There have been nights when I didn't want to drive out to the library and because it's so quiet, I didn't have a problem staying in.
If you have any other comments or questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!
Julia
