Housing & Accommodations

St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary provides on-campus housing for students enrolled in full-time residential programs and offers limited accommodations for students enrolled in hybrid courses during their one-week onsite sessions.

Married Student Housing

Married students may move into their apartments on or after the date specified in their housing assignment. Married students are responsible for monthly rent and utility bills (see Tuition and Other Expenses). Apartments range in size from one- to three-bedroom facilities and include a kitchen with stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Coin-operated laundry facilities are available in the basement. Apartments are unfurnished.

An on-campus playground, located on the north side of the campus, provides children a pleasant place to gather and play. A small park one block from the seminary campus provides another nearby setting for outside activity.

Dormitory students may move in the day before orientation begins. Each room is supplied with a twin (long) bed, a dresser, a desk and chair, and closest space. Bathroom facilities in each residence hall are shared. Men and women students are segregated.

The seminary values the research and study benefits of internet access. The seminary provides internet access to students via Ethernet or wireless connections. Additionally, computer workstations are available in the reading room of the seminary library.

Students living in seminary apartments or dormitories do not have access to outside internet providers or to cable/satellite providers.

On-campus residency is mandatory for all students enrolled in the M.Div. program and for all students receiving financial aid from the seminary. Should a situation arise that requires a student to live off campus, the student must petition the Director of Residential Life and outline the reasons why his or her request should be granted. If a blessing is given, the student is responsible for the market rate of the rental as well as for all seminary responsibilities.

Incoming seminarians may submit their housing application through the Admissions Portal as part of the application process. Married students seeking apartment rental are required to submit a $1,500 refundable security deposit; dormitory students are required to submit a $350 refundable security deposit. Apartments and dormitory rooms are assigned beginning May 1.
