Vera Baits II complex, located on North Campus, is a co-ed residence for first-year students. Students can take a free ride on one of our many M buses for the quick trip to Central Campus. Most Baits rooms are suite-style and feature an attached bathroom for the private use of residents in the suite. Many suites also include small living rooms that are shared by three to five residents. 

Baits Houses are close to the North Campus Recreation Building, the College of Engineering, the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, an annex to the School of Information and the Schools of Music, Theater & Dance, and Art & Design.

Baits residents appreciate the proximity of the Duderstadt Center (Mujo Café, computer labs, video editing, and a 3D virtual reality room); Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum; Bentley Historical Library; the Blue Apple, a popular café in Bursley Hall; Pierpont Commons (student business and restaurant options); and several nearby fields for pick-up soccer and football games.

Current and future residents are encouraged to get involved in the Baits Community. Learn more about what residents, past and present, have to say about life on North Campus.

History

Vera B. Baits Houses were built in the mid-1960s as coeducational residences for upper-level undergrads and graduate students. The complex is named for Vera Burridge Baits, a 1915 graduate of the University who later served on the Board of Regents.
