- Gaming (MAGE/E-Sports). This community is intended to engage residents interested in board games, card games, Role-Playing Games (RPGs), computer/video games, and those who are into competitive video gaming. This floor connects students with MAGE, MSOE's sci-fi, gaming, and anime' club, and MSOE's E-Sports teams and coaches.
- Music/Theater/Art. This community is intended for those residents who appreciate music, play an instrument, love to experience and create art, listen to music, and attend theater, ballet, concerts, or musical performances.
- LGBTQIA+. This community is intended for those residents who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, or who identify as allies.
- Entrepreneurial/Business. This community is intended to engage residents that have an entrepreneurial mindset. This group will work with the CREATE Institute and the Rader School of Business Innovent Center to help develop students' MSOE mindset, ideas, innovations, and business ventures.
- Women in Science and Engineering (WISE). This community is for female students majoring in engineering and technology who want to develop connections in the field. Similar interests help build friendships and networks beyond one's major. WISE members may be interested in the MSOE Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and MSOE Women in Technology.
- International/Global. This community is intended to engage residents interested in exploring local to global communities and what they include. This features a focus on diversity and cultural experiences.
There are no requirements to live in an IC other than wanting to live with others who share your interests. ICs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is open to all residents. About half of each group will be first-year students, while the rest will be returning students. Be sure to indicate which IC you're interested in on your Housing Application.
