Hi-
I have been looking for a thread for the accelerated BSN 2021 cohort, but haven’t seen anything yet. I got my acceptance into the east lansing location. Anyone else get in? I’m not from Michigan and have no clue what east lansing is like. Do I need a car? What’s the best area to live in? I would like to live with someone in my program so if anyone needs a roommate lemme know! I’m coming from out of state.

Hi! Congratulations on your acceptance!! I also had been looking for a thread so I am glad you made one ? I originally applied for Detroit but got accepted to EL due to high demand for the Detroit location.
Thankfully I did undergrad at MSU (finished in '17) so I am familiar with the area! I would suggest looking at facebook housing groups because people are always posting. You could also choose to post and see if anyone else is looking for someone to room with. Personally, I would opt for grad student roomates. I would also try to be not so intertwined with undergrad living (immediately across from campus) so I would try to look at Hannah lofts. Sadly, it is a bit more expensive but I think for me it would be worth the quiet. I do know however in the years since I have graduated they have done A LOT of remodeling and I think there are newer apartments close to campus. I'll have to do some research. In the meantime I've created a FB group in hopes more accepted students will find it and we can all get to chatting. ? Congrats again on your acceptance!

Thanks for the reply. You too! Super excited to start!! Great, I hope poeple will joint the FB group too. Do you know how many people they accept in to each location? I applied for the east lansing location, but I kind of wish I would have applied for Detroit.
I had actually applied for Detroit since its closer to me and I'd be able to commute. My acceptance email stated they only had 16 seats at the location. My understanding is that there is a waitlist incase anyone drops for those who applied with the Detroit preference. Not sure how many seats EL takes!
