East Lansing, Michigan

East Lansing has an unbeatable combination of historic small-town atmosphere and cosmopolitan sophistication. Tree-lined avenues, a variety of beautiful homes, and its proximity to a number of shopping areas give East Lansing its small-town ambience. The presence of one of the nation's largest centers of learning, Michigan State University, and the nearby state capital in Lansing make the citizens of East Lansing as diverse as the world is large.

Charter Bus Transportation

For this year’s Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, MSU is instituting a new policy for private charter busses arriving for registration. In order to reduce clustering of traffic around the International Center, private charter busses will now park by entering the Northeast side of Spartan Stadium off Red Cedar Road and travel along the East side of the stadium to the designated drop-off location. Once at this location, teams and coaches may use the sidewalks to walk to the International Center for registration, pin trading, and souvenir sales shopping. Teams should plan on staying at this location for no more than 45 minutes to reduce back-up at the drop-off location. Please note that teams must leave their luggage on the bus when walking to the International Center. Once the team has registered, they will walk back to their busses and leave for their assigned residence hall. As a reminder:  For your safety, drop-off/pick-up is not allowed along the roadways or along the east side of the stadium and there is no stopping/standing/parking in those areas. Thank you for your cooperation.onfirmed based on availability. (*Updated from printed packets.)
