Home Sweet Home: Experience Living in McDonel Hall


Students of the Residential Business Program live on the first two-three floors of East McDonel Hall, which is located in the River Trail Neighborhood at Michigan State University. McDonel Hall opened in 1963 and is named for Irma and Karl McDonel (Karl was secretary to the State Board of Agriculture, which is now the Michigan State University Board of Trustees). The residence hall houses all levels of students as well as a large percentage of the university's international students.

McDonel Hall features the River Trail Neighborhood Engagement Center, which offer both general academic advising as well as academic advising for prospective and current business students in the Eli Broad College of Business; free tutoring in subjects such as accounting, economics, and mathematics; a writing help center; individual and group study space for students; and a Sparty's Refresh convenience store. With one multipurpose lecture hall and two R.E.A.L. classrooms (high-tech collaborative and innovative classrooms for business students), McDonel Hall is also an important academic facility at the university. The Michigan State University Department of Anthropology's archaeological facilities are located here, which include five archaeological research laboratories, a storage of teaching collections, and a university-owned repository.

McDonel Hall has both coed and non-coed floors and have suite-style living arrangements. The Residential Business Program floors are coed by suite, where four students of the same gender share a bathroom between two rooms.
