Marketing junior Jessica Stirling says she loves her apartment. Her roommates, applied engineering science junior Allen Baerman, civil engineering junior Tyler Dawson and Heather Ferguson, a nursing junior at Lansing Community College, all friends she's known since high school, she says their new home is luxurious compared to the residence halls. "It's nice having your own bathroom," Stirling laughed as the roommates played their Super Nintendo on the 46" HDTV that was included with their premium unit. The group shares a four-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment at the Campus Village Community just minutes walking distance from Brody Complex. "It's the next step in becoming an adult," says anthropology senior Miranda Perkins, who is training to become a manager at Cedar Greens Apartments, a complex located in Frandor, an area which marks the border between East Lansing and Lansing on Michigan Avenue.

After years of living in residence halls, a group of housemates decided to take advantage of their new space by throwing a party — complete with an inflatable moonwalk, a sumo wrestling ring with padded suits and an appearance by one roommate as SpongeBob SquarePants. "We couldn't have hooked that up at the dorm," said microbiology senior David Heard, one of the housemates. The group, which included Heard, mechanical engineering senior Darin Coveart and finance senior James Murphy and environmental biology-microbiology senior Paul Schroeder moved into a five-bedroom house on the 600 block of Virginia Avenue this semester. The house is located near a number of permanent residents, but Heard said they haven't had any problem getting along with their neighbors. "They've all been chill," Heard said.

Columbus, Ohio — In the end, it just wasn't MSU's day.
