Merrill Hall

Welcome to Merrill Hall

Merrill Hall, part of our South Community, offers four-person suite-style living with two bedrooms, a shared bathroom and a common area for relaxing or studying with friends. Its central location provides easy access to academic buildings and campus activities. Merrill Hall is also home to Leader Advancement Scholars, creating a collaborative environment for students in this program. South Community halls, including Merrill, close during Thanksgiving, semester and spring breaks. For housing during these periods, consider options in the East Community, which remains open during breaks.

Cost per semester* $3,139.00

_{*Please note that this rate covers housing only. Students are also required to select a meal plan, which will determine the total cost of housing and dining for the semester. Room rates for the 2025-2026 academic year will be announced after the CMU Board of Trustees approves them in the spring of 2025. Stay tuned for updates on next year’s rates and meal plans.}
