CSAM Residence Floor


The College of Science and Mathematics (CSAM) is committed to creating an environment for our students that is conducive to learning and will promote personal, intellectual, social, and academic growth. To achieve these ends, a CSAM Residence Floor has been established, in Blanton Hall, to provide students in the College of Science and Mathematics an opportunity to live together in a environment that promotes academic excellence. The goal is dedicated to education, community, and teamwork, formally and informally, through social and educational activities. Living away from home, you may experience homesickness and have concerns about time management, study skills and living and dealing with others. On this Floor you will have the empathy and support of others in similar circumstances. With the assistance of residence hall staff, who are upper-class College of Science and Mathematics students, we are certain your life at MSU will be smooth and successful.
