Introduction from University
Student Commission
Welcome to the City of East
Lansing! This guide, in its fourth edition, was created to
provide important information regarding off-campus living. After moving into the
City you will find, as many before you have, East Lansing
to be a dynamic
and vibrant community. It is the diversity of its residents—students, families,
young professionals, and older residents—that make East
Lansing
such a livable
community. Our residents represent many races, religions, and nationalities.
Unique challenges and
opportunities develop when combining student life with independent off-campus
living. When becoming a new resident of a community, it is important to find out
local practices and expectations. For the most part, standards in
East Lansing
are similar to
those in any other community where being a good neighbor and a responsible
citizen are “keys” to having a successful stay.
The purpose of this guide is to
provide students new to the City and off-campus living information about the
rental/leasing process and the services and opportunities the City offers, to
promote good relations within the East Lansing
community, and to
answer questions and avoid problems.
