Morgan State enrollment is surging. Students will live in hotels.

As enrollment surges at some historically Black colleges and universities, Morgan State University has hit over 9,000 students for the fall semester for the second time in the university’s history.To address the shortfall, the university is partnering with a hotel in Baltimore that will provide 350 extra beds for new and returning students.

The hotel spots will go to students who applied through the school’s housing portal before June. More than 4,000 submissions have already been received.Housing selection is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the wait list is already 600 people long. Morgan State, too, has previously housed students at hotels in 2018 due to dormitory renovations. In addition, it put up more than 400 students off-campus last year in hotels due to dormitory renovations.Students in Morgan State-assigned hotel housing will have access to a student lounge, an eatery and a shuttle system to the campus, which is approximately 20 minutes away from the hotel.
