Current Students
Valparaiso University is residential by design. Living on campus represents an integral component of the mission of the institution by providing living and learning experiences which lead to a student’s growth and development, and an enhancement of one’s total education at Valpo. Because residency is such an important aspect of the Valpo experience, Valparaiso University has a three-year residency requirement. All undergraduate students are expected to reside in campus housing for six (6) semesters.
Resident Assistant Selection
Do you want to shape the residence hall experience for others? Resident Assistants (RAs) help their fellow students and create a welcoming community where students feel like they belong.
