Residence Hall Life

Themed Communities assist incoming students in building friendships by offering several theme-based living and learning experiences in the residence halls. Students can choose specific themes which interest them and live on designated floors of residence halls on campus.

A number of individuals are employed in each residence hall to assist residents in adjusting to the campus community and participating in various social, educational, and recreational programs. Resident Assistants live on the floors with the students. These student staff members have been selected through a highly competitive process based on their experience at Valdosta State. Residence Hall Directors also live in each residence hall to supervise the work of the Resident Assistants and to work with the residents of the building. Each traditional and suite-style residence hall also has front desk staff members who manage the lobby area. Failure to comply with the directives related to the performance of their job is a violation of the Code of Ethics. Custodians are assigned to clean public areas in our halls. We also have maintenance staff that performs routine maintenance repairs and may enter your room or apartment occasionally to perform requested or emergency repairs.
