Living in Maverick Hall, the collegiate home to almost 600 first-year students, blends a socially active and academically focused environment. Active community councils, weekly floor activities and regular faculty led review sessions are typical in Maverick Hall. In addition to the Community Advisor (CA), each floor has a Maverick Mentor. Mentors are upperclass students at MSU and assist the residents of Maverick Hall in their academic transition to college. Creating study groups, having one-on-one conversations about academic goals and resources, planning faculty review sessions, and implementing several academic incentive and reward programs are just a few of the many ways Mentors and CAs contribute to the academic culture of Maverick Hall. Freshmen live in all four communities on campus, however, only new entering freshmen may live in Maverick Hall.
