Healthy Living House

What is the Healthy Living House?

The Healthy Living House (HLH) is about the wellness of mind, body, and spirit. HLH is a co-ed and alcohol-free residential learning community located on the 5th floor of East McNair Hall. This living experience is designed to enhance your opportunity for a well-rounded and healthy academic experience. With the help of your Program Coordinator, Resident Assistant, and Mentors you will design and implement a wellness, academic, and fitness plan that will encompass all aspects of healthy living which will help you succeed at Michigan Tech. It will also encourage you to get involved in your community and make new friends.

  • A community atmosphere where everyone works together to help students succeed.
