Campus living
Living and learning, together.
Our residential communities are at the heart of campus life. They’re open to full-time undergraduate and graduate students, and they’re built to help you feel at home from your first week.
You won’t be on your own. Every living area has a Resident Assistant (RA) and a Resident Coordinator (RC) who look out for the health, safety, and well-being of residents.
Your housing options
Where will you live?
Whether you’re living on campus or nearby, here’s how to get started.
On-campus housing
Get to class, practice, or a campus event in minutes. Living on campus makes it easy to grab a snack, change, or even nap between classes, and keeps you close to your fellow Vikings.
Off-campus housing
Planning to live off campus? Check whether you’re eligible (see “Before you move in” below), then email Housing for the Chamber of Commerce list of local landlords.
Applying for housing
Ready to claim your spot? Complete your housing contract online through the housing portal. You’ll need a new contract each year you live on campus.
Housing requirements
Before you move in.
A few things to know so your move goes smoothly.
- Housing contract: Everyone living in campus housing completes a housing contract for the current year.
- First-year students: Freshmen live on campus for their first year. Students in the Drive 60 area are the exception (see the Drive 60 Scholarship).
- International students: International freshmen live on campus for their first two years.
- Roommate agreement: You and your roommates each sign an agreement covering your responsibilities and visitation. Visitation begins once everyone has signed and your Resident Coordinator has confirmed it.
What to bring
Move-in made simple.
Every room comes furnished with a dresser, desk, chair, and a twin XL bed. Rooms in Valley Village and Viking Village have full-size beds.
