Step 3 – Find Housing in Valpo

Undergraduate Student Housing

  • Undergraduate students must live on campus.
  • On-campus housing is in great demand, so you are encouraged to fill out the deposit form as early as possible to secure a space. To learn more about on-campus living and view residence halls and rooms, visit Residential Life.
  • Please note that there is no bedding provided upon arrival, so please bring with you a minimum of $30-$50 U.S. Dollar cash to purchase bedding, basic supplies, and food for the first couple of nights in the residence hall.
    • For summer and fall arrivals, you can wait for a couple of months before purchasing a heavier blanket.
    • If you arrive in the winter, you will need to allow for more cash to purchase a heavier blanket immediately. You should also bring some warm clothing with you.

Graduate Student Housing

  • On-campus option:
    • Graduate students have a convenient and comfortable option for living on-campus, only a few minutes’ walk away from everything a student needs during their time at Valpo. Click Here to see the details of this option in Alumni Hall, as well as instructions on how to apply. 
      • Plan to bring $50-75 USD to purchase bedding, basic supplies & food for the first couple of nights in the residence halls.
