Griffis Hall Dorm Reviews at MSU

So far my experience has been great. The rooms and are nice and spacious. The common area is almost always busy, and there’s lots of activities to do in Griffis. I have never had to complain about noise from other rooms, so that is also a great aspect of this dorm.

Very well staffed. Not overcrowded. Quiet. A little far from the center of campus, but still an easy walk. Bathrooms are private and easily maintained with plenty of space for all roommates. Parking was average but could get complicated on game weekends.

I spent my first year of college in Griffis Hall, and I am returning this semester to be back in Griffis because I love it so much! Every morning I went to the Sanderson Center to work out, and Griffis was only a 5 minute walk away. Griffis is in the perfect location and is part of the honors dorms! I took an honors course and my classroom was only a floor above my room. Griffis made my first year of college easy, and I adore all the friends I made in my hall too.

The dorm has multiple study rooms and lots of tables in the in common areas for you. Honors Student Success is located on the second floor and you can meet with them to talk about selecting classes and making the most of what the honors college has to offer.

Overall, a very great experience. Little to no complaints about anything on a daily basis. Sometimes the person at the front desk may be just a little unhelpful at a specific need (like when having troubles printing), but griffis is one of the only dorms that has printers anyways, which is a big plus.

Most of my friends also live in Griffis, and the staff is so wonderful! I’m so glad I was able to be in one of the honors dorm, and I truly believe Griffis is the best out of the three. I am living there next year because I’ve had such a good experience with it this year!

Overall I have had a pleasant experience at Griffis Hall. The people are generally nice and the dorms are clean. My only complaint is that quiet hours aren't always enforced. Sometimes it is well past 10 pm and the hallways are extremely loud.

My experience at Griffis Hall has been great, the only issues I’ve had have been with rowdy residents, but that’s not a fault of the hall and staff. Having a POD (a little store where you can purchase food after a certain point in the afternoon) is super nice!
