Saxe Hall

Welcome to Saxe Hall

Saxe Hall, part of our East Community, provides four-person suite-style living that include two bedrooms, a shared bathroom and a common area for studying or spending time with friends. Conveniently located near the Student Activity Center, Saxe Hall connects you to both academic and recreational opportunities. East Community halls, including Saxe, remain open during Thanksgiving, semester and spring breaks, offering housing during breaks for students who need it.

_{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.}
