The important thing to remember about VIU Student Housing is that it is not another apartment building. In fact, just by living in Student Housing you automatically get membership into one of the most active groups on campus, Residence Life.
Welcome to Our Community!
Residence Life is the terminology used to describe the comprehensive program that surrounds living on campus. VIU Student Housing offers a program that is not only fun, but helps to transition students into university life. Whether you are looking to meet new friends, learn to eat healthy, or want to experience different cultures, Residence Life will have something for you. Our environment encourages independent living while providing a safe environment designed for academic success.
The VIU Residence Life Program is supported by front desk, and housekeeping staff, 2 professional staff members, 2 Senior Community Leaders, 17 Community Leaders and other Student Leaders. Your Community Leader will probably be one of the first person you meet on campus. These dedicated upper year student leaders plan programming and build community in every area of Student Housing.
As you explore the Residence Life area of the website be sure to note the RockVIU Student Housing Orientation Program. This Orientation program happens before the beginning of the Fall Semester. It is a jam packed schedule of events, activities and educational sessions. It is the perfect place to connect to the VIU community and the best way to make sure you are ready to jump into your academic career. You will be able to sign up for the orientation program through the Student Housing Application Portal.
