Living on Campus

Housing

You will reside with other Craft Academy students in Grote-Thompson Hall under the supervision of the assistant director of residence life and resident counselors. Grote- Thompson Hall is centrally located in the heart of the beautiful MSU campus and designed to provide study areas equipped with computers, along with gathering areas for study groups, socializing, watching TV and recreational activities.

Anything you need will either be available in your residence hall or within a short walk on campus.

Roommates

Once you have been invited to attend the Craft Academy, you will be asked to complete a survey of your interests. Staff will use the results to match you with a roommate of the same gender who shares similar interests.

If you know someone who has also been selected to attend the Academy, you may request him/her as a roommate. The Craft Academy believes living with a roommate will make for a positive experience.

While your classes will prepare you to become a 21st Century leader, scientist, doctor, inventor or business leader, the social aspect of the Craft Academy will help you learn acceptance, tolerance and the ability to work well with others.

Curfew

While we want you to have fun at the Craft Academy, we also believe you should have time in the evenings to devote to your studies (it is why you are here, after all). Curfews will be in effect seven days a week.

For Craft Academy students, check-in and checkout policies and procedures, and curfew times will be strictly enforced and camera monitors also will be in place, allowing our students’ primary concern to be their academic success and social experience. Failure to adhere to these guidelines can result in probation and/or dismissal from the program.
