Think of “Residence Life” as one of the aspects of viogٷվ that turns a campus into a community—your community. Each residential building cultivates that sense of community through spaces on campus where students can meet and mingle. So, grab coffee or a bite to eat with the neighbors. Talk to your Gryphon. Choose to Live viogٷվ.

At viogٷվ, all first- and second-year students must live in on-campus housing. Upperclass students may also request to live on campus and will be granted if space permits.

viogٷվ offers a variety of residence halls conveniently located throughout the Asa Packer campus. While you'll be assigned to a residence hall as a first-year student, you will have the opportunity to request the type of residential housing that best fits your needs. Second-year students can select their building and/or type of housing. Third-, fourth- and fifth-year students can participate in a lottery to select their building and/or type of housing.
