The Hut is the New Townhouse

Are you tired of all the old, same housing choices on campus? Are you sick of sharing a hallway with other students? Are you just plain old fed UP with all the ruckus and noise? Introducing Holy Cross new housing option: MICH (pronounced me-sh)! This beautiful dorm is located at the heart of campus, in a familiar little abode. That small hut in between Smith Hall and the Greenhouse has been renovated to a single, solo shack. Did you know that it used to be a bakery? Well, not anymore it’s not! It’s MICH! 

MICH is named after the hut’s very first resident, Michaela, who plans on moving in the fall of 2026. Are you interested in applying? After Michaela’s reign, she shall conduct interviews with potential successors who match MICH’s “vibe.” 

This tiny home will be featured in Architectural Digest’s 2027 issue, as it was sought after by many A-list celebrities. Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson are just two of the dozens of stars who applied. Keep your eyes peeled for the kitchen that Ina Garten said was “a mix of Nancy Meyers’s classic design and Charlotte York’s French-country dream.” 

If you are looking for a cozy, cheerful vibe for your senior housing, look no further than this award-winning home, MICH. It is a perfect location for any student. Residents of MICH are also given the highly-coveted “God Swipe,” where they can swipe into any building or floor on campus. While some students are attracted to the community-based style of living that options like the townhouses or Figge Hall offer, students who choose MICH are given a luxurious spot to relax and live like the Keebler elf.
