UPPER-CLASS HOUSING HOUSING:
Campus living is a unique experience, which will place you at the center of university action. You will be living with people from all parts of the and the world. The residence halls at VSU are designed to support, compliment, and expand your total university education by providing a variety of services, activities, programs, facilities, and living environments. The majority of our Upper-class students (30 credit hours or more) will have the option of choosing to live in the Student Village Complex or Gateway, which are located near the main entrance of our campus. The Student Village Complex consists of three residence halls and the student Pavilion. Those Residence Halls are: Barrett-Jackson, Taylor-Williams, and Nicholas Hall. Upper-class students also have the added option of Whiting Hall, a coed suite styled residence hall where two rooms are connected by a shared bathroom.
LIVING IN A COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT:
As a member of a residence hall communi ty, you assume the responsibility for working with your roommate and neighbors to develop and maintain a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment. Residence hall staff members are available to help you adjust to the new environment and encourage you to become involved with people and activities.
Residence halls offer a number of amenities for the comfort and convenience of students, featuring common areas such as lounges, study rooms, reception lobbies, and recreation rooms. Soda, snack machine, a microwave, and a laundry room are located in each residence hall.
The University provides housekeeping service for common areas in the halls including rest rooms, hallways, and stairwells. It is your responsibility to keep your room clean and to maintain neatness in the surrounding areas. Residents are responsible for supplying their own personal telephone and long distance service. However, pay telephones are located in the lobby of each hall.
protecting your valuables:
As stated in the Residence Hall and Food Service Agreement, the University will make every effort to secure each student's property. However, the student agrees to accept full responsibility for loss or damage to personal property. We encourage you to consider a personal property insurance plan or renter’s insurance if you are not sufficiently covered under another insurance policy. The College does not carry insurance, which will cover losses you might incur from fire, theft or other casualty.
Our staff has been carefully selected and trained to make life in the residence halls a pleasant and positive experience for all students. Please call on any of the staff members for assistance. They are here to help you!
