About Student Housing in East Lansing
East Lansing, Michigan is a college town in every sense, built around Michigan State University and the roughly 50,000 students who give the place its rhythm. The campus sprawls along the Red Cedar River with its famous tree-lined walkways, and student life spills straight into the surrounding streets. Grand River Avenue forms the spine of downtown, packed with student-facing storefronts, and neighborhoods like the Stadium District and the East Side put you within a short walk of class. For green space, the Red Cedar River trails, the W.J. Beal Botanical Garden, and the wider Lansing River Trail keep you outside. Game days turn Spartan Stadium and its tailgates into the city's biggest event, and the Wharton Center anchors the arts calendar.
