We are offering campus housing for summer 2025!

 We are offering campus housing for summer 2025! It will be McKee Hall - on campus on the east side of the gunsmithing building. The cost is $60 per person, per night. Payment will be taken for housing at the same time as payment for classes - pay for housing and classes together. This will be about 1-2 weeks before the start of a class.

HOUSING REGISTRATION

 

McKee Hall is a typical dorm style set up - shared room with a roommate. Please refence the floor plan.

We do not know the finer details, yet, like check in & out procedures. Check out is usually by 5pm on the final day of class (Thursday or Friday).

Each dorm is equipped with:

•  2 Twin Beds (maybe twin xl) (emphasis on TWIN)
•  2 Closets
•  2 Desks
•  shared mini fridge
•  and a shared floor bathroom

The bathroom will have multiple stalls and showers, but it is a shared floor bathroom - the whole floor shares the bathroom area.

These are campus dorms intended for college students at Murray State College, not hotels (emphasis on NOT hotels). These are bare, empty rooms, except for the furniture provided as stated above.

MCKEE HALL FLOOR PLAN EXAMPLE

YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE:

•  your own bedding (twin/twin xl sheets & comforter, pillows, blankets)

You may also want to bring these items just in case: small trash can, shower curtain (should be in bathroom, but just in case), bath mat for bathroom and maybe even a rug for the room.
