13 Living On-Campus Office of Resident Life || Spartan Village Row, 503 || 314.392.2262 Living in an MBU residence hall or apartment will provide you with a unique opportunity to study and socialize with American students. You will meet new people, learn about different cultures and interact with the student community. Involvement with the university community will strengthen your MBU experience and help you better understand American culture. Resident Advisors Each residence hall and apartment building has multiple Resident Advisors (RAs). Your RA is a great resource and can answer many of the questions you have about St. Louis, living on campus, and community events. If you are experiencing problems with your roommates, food or any other aspect of campus living, you should talk with your RA first before seeking other help. Living Off-Campus When looking for apartments, consider the following: -

Length of the lease: When can you move in and out?

-

Your monthly budget: What can you afford?

-

Distance from school and transportation: How will you get to campus?

-

Safety: Is this neighborhood safe?

-

If you will have roommates: How many rooms will you need?
