Mund Dining Hall
A staple of the LVC dining experience. You’ll find a range of options from homestyle delights to pizza and fresh salad.
Housing & Dining
Life, Valley-style.
We know living on campus is a big (and exciting) change, so we’ve made residential life at LVC as comfortable as possible. You can choose from a range of accommodation options, from traditional dorms to special interest housing, along with delicious dining choices. Best of all, you’ll never have to worry about finding a place to live, as we guarantee student housing for all four years of your undergraduate experience.
Traditional Halls
Our seven traditional dorm halls feature all the amenities you could need, and are typically only a five-minute walk to your classes.
Upperclass & Graduate Housing
LVC upperclass students live in our house, apartment, suite, and single room options that feature all the conveniences you need to live at ease.
Interest-Driven Housing
Our interest-driven housing offers LVC students the chance to live in communities with other students who share things in common. Previous communities have centered on interests like sustainability, mental health awareness, and STEM.
First-year Student Communities
Many first-year residential students will live near students in their First-year Experience courses so they can form bonds and collaborate as they adapt to the college environment.
Make Yourself at Home
From our bright and cheerful dorms to the cozy houses and apartments, we make living on campus fun and welcoming.
Get Involved
Aside from your residence hall peers and classmates, one of the best ways to make friends and connect with people is getting involved in student activities. Wherever your interests lie, there’s probably a student club for it—and if not, you can start it yourself!
Dining Options
We offer four excellent on-campus dining choices, including Mund Dining Hall and Dutchmen Den.
Dutchmen Den
Located in the Yuhas Commons. Enjoy made-to-order deli sandwiches, flatbreads, smoothies, milkshakes, and much more.
InterMetzo
An upscale coffee bar proudly serving Starbucks Coffee. You can also find grab-and-go sandwiches, salads and other snacks.
Bishop Brews
Whether you’re in between classes or looking for study fuel, stop by Bishop Brews in the Vernon & Doris Bishop Library to grab coffee and a snack.
LVC Housing Policies
If you require special housing conditions (such as air-conditioning), you will need to provide medical documentation from a physician stating the specific housing need via the Housing Accommodation Verification Form. If you are requesting a special meal plan or housing consideration for a religious, cultural identity, and/or gender identity/sexual orientation need, please complete Form C: Identity-based Housing Request.
Forms should only be submitted if there is a documented medical need and special housing is absolutely required. Please return your completed form to the Office of Residential Life by May 31.
Residency Requirement
