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 suite- or apartment-style options (based on availability), 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.

Apartments, Houses, and Suites

Our apartments, houses, and suites feature all the conveniences you need to live at ease.

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 at LVC

At LVC, we take food seriously. We aim to provide a diverse and delicious array of dining options, and each semester we send out a student preference survey to ensure we’re meeting our students’ needs.

Dining Options

We offer several on-campus dining choices, including Mund Dining Hall and Dutchmen Den.
