Make your home at The Village at Chandler Crossings and live within minutes of Michigan State University by car. After a day of classes, head downtown and discover the eclectic array of eateries on offer. Dig into a hearty stew at Altu’s Ethiopian Cuisine, or a curry from Swagath Indian Cuisine. Then, enjoy a night of theater at Wharton Center for Performing Arts, or head to Crunchy’s bar for karaoke and craft beer. At the weekend, join thousands of cheering fans at the Spartan Stadium for a Michigan State Spartans football game.

Drive 10 minutes to class each day, or use your free CATA pass and cruise there on a bus in 18. On your way back to The Village at Chandler Crossings, swing by the local Kroger supermarket to do your weekly shop, or walk eight minutes to browse speciality Asian foods at A-Market.

Back home, return to your furnished apartment and cook up a storm in the fully equipped kitchen. You can choose between having your own space in a one-bedroom apartment or sharing a home with up to three friends and all pitching in together. Then, put a load of laundry on in the washer dryer and relax with a drink on the balcony, or watch your favorite cable TV shows in the lounge area.

When it’s time to hit the books, connect to the free high-speed Wi-Fi or pack your things and head to one of the computer centers, grabbing a latte from the coffee bar on the way. After a good study session, work off some steam in the fitness studios or do a few laps in one of the outdoor pools. Then, have a relaxing soak in a hot tub or challenge your friends to a basketball or racquetball game on the courts. You could also spend some time exploring the disc golf course or perfecting your skating on the ice rink.

As utilities like cable and internet are covered in your rent, you won’t have to worry about unexpected bills. Security patrols are also available for your peace of mind.
