May Spotlight: Lodges of East Lansing

By Lev Novak

If you’re going to live somewhere, it might as well sound like an old-timey royal place, and it might as well have the same standard of living.

The Lodges of East Lansing does both.

Let’s start with the basics. It’s a compromise between the best of both worlds. You have the community and ease of on-campus housing as well as the privacy and power of private personal apartment living. You’re near class. You’re with friends. And there are no RA’s, no “I live in this dorm” awkward conversations, no icebreaker games. There’s only what you want.

It’s freedom, power, and it’s so easy– it’s with friends and by class. Just take the private shuttle.

Oh, did we mention the private shuttle?

See, the Lodges of East Lansing isn’t just a perfect compromise of what you want and what you need- it’s also a magical grab-bag of perks. There’s a 24-hour fitness center in the building, and then there’s another one, because they decided that having only one of those would be for scrubs. There’s a heated swimming pool, and then another one- same policy applies.

One is good. Two is better.

Other than that, there are some advantages we could talk about- the dry sauna, the seasonal ice skating rink, othe n-site dog park- but that might bore you. Again, we could talk about the sand volleyball court, the free tanning, free parking, and computer center, but you get it. You get it, right?

The apartment building is awesome.

Let’s talk about a day there. You wake up, go downstairs to one of the two coffee bars, and then go to one of the two fitness centers, or, if it’s more your style. You do some work in the student lounge, hanging out with friends- it’s full of friends, by the way- while you do your laundry. There’s a washer and dryer in every unit, after all. Then you take the private shuttle to class- you are a student- and come back after dinner. Maybe you play some bocce, or go ice skating, or beach volleyball. Maybe you’re tired from the work out in the morning and you stick with the calmer perks, like the poker table, the pool table, the entertainment system included in your room.

Heck, maybe you just want to play with your dog at the dog park in the building.

Because the building has a dog park.

You can live- really live– on a college budget with college friends, but not like a college kid. No, no, no. Because at the East Lansing Lodges you live like a daydream. So many options, so many perks adding up, and still- still!- flexible floor plans and prices.

Give it a click and a fair look. You deserve to.

Hey, it beats your dorm.
