All students are housed on campus in residence halls and are supervised by professional staff and resident advisors. Living in a residence hall is an exciting opportunity that requires self-discipline, compatibility with other students from different backgrounds, and a high degree of responsibility. Students selected for enrollment at MSMS have demonstrated these characteristics and should be able to adapt to living in a residence hall with minimal adjustment. The residence hall staff helps each student adjust to the residential environment, and offers support and guidance as needed.
