Both rooms and apartments are furnished, but students must provide their own towels, bed linens, pillows, blankets and bedspreads. Laundry facilities are available in each residence hall. Accommodations are not available for married students. Students accepted to VCU will receive a housing application with the letter of admission. The application must be returned with an advance rental payment to reserve a room.
Housing is assigned in the order in which applications are received.
If the demand for on-campus housing exceeds the space available, students may be temporarily housed off campus. Housing is not guaranteed and preference is given to undergraduate students. University Housing requires the student to sign a housing contract for the entire academic year. Many students choose to live off campus. The university does not control or monitor these facilities, but the Off-campus Housing Bureau assists students by providing lists of available accommodations.
