Residence Halls

Freshmen and sophomores who are under 21 are required to live on campus in an approved residence hall. Some exceptions apply. See the Mayville State academic catalog Student Services section for details.

The University operates the following residence halls:

• Agassiz Hall is a freshman hall that has separate men’s and women’s wings joined by a common lounge. Agassiz is the newest residence hall on campus and features a large recreation area in the basement level. A meal plan is required.
• Berg Hall is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors and features single rooms. Upper class students who have previously lived in an MSU residence hall have priority for vacancies in this hall. Berg Hall also features six apartments, partially furnished and available to sophomores, juniors, or seniors or students 21 and older.
• Birkelo Hall houses upper class men (sophomore, junior, or senior status) in a three story, traditionally styled hall. Single rooms and large corner rooms are predominant features of this building. An optional board plan is also a feature of this hall.

Each dorm room has cable television access, computer network connections, and voicemail.

For more information on the residence hall policies, see the Mayville State academic catalog Student Services section.
