On-Campus Housing Overview

You can enhance your student experience by experiencing on-campus living at Southwestern Michigan College. The newly expanded Student Activity Center makes SMC more than a typical two-year college.

Why not stay 4 years? Southwestern Michigan College doesn't have to be just a two-year stop. By teaming up with two major universities, SMC now offers six bachelor’s degrees and two master’s degrees right on its campus, making it easy to stay for four years! Opting to stay for a bachelor’s degree at SMC is a money-saving option, too. Many of the programs allow a student to take up to three years at SMC. That means more credits will be taken at SMC’s low tuition rates! Follow the link on the left to our University Center to find out more about your four-year degree options.

If you have any questions, please email housing@swmich.edu.
