STUDENTS

Students discuss safety living off-campus

Many upperclassmen opt to live off campus after fulfilling the MSU two-year requirement to live on campus.

But for some, safety is a concern when deciding to live off campus.

MSU football looked to a new leader of the offense in their 27-24 loss on the road to Rutgers this afternoon, but despite the loss, redshirt freshman Katin Houser didn’t disappoint in his first career start. He wasn’t perfect, throwing a couple of passes that had chances of being intercepted, but his three-touchdown performance should solidify him as the starter for the foreseeable future.
