Housing

St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary provides on-campus housing for students enrolled in full-time residential programs. Students coming to Seminary with spouses and families live in apartments on campus. Single students live in the dormitories. 

Upon acceptance to St. Vladimir’s Seminary, prospective students fill out a Housing Application through the Admissions Portal. Typically, married students may begin moving into their apartments on August 15, and dormitory students may begin moving in the day before Orientation begins. Specific information about move-in is included in an accepted student’s Housing Letter, which they can expect to receive in the early summer. 

For more information about fees and living expenses, please visit the "Fees & Tuition” page.

There are several dedicated residences for married students and their families on campus (see the Campus Map). Apartments range in size from studios to three-bedroom units, and are distributed as fairly as possible according to 1) order of application 2) family size, 3) degree program and 4) consideration for pets, as only the apartments in the Schmemann and Erickson Buildings are pet-friendly. Please note that there is a fee for having pets on campus.

All apartment kitchens include a stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher; otherwise, apartments are unfurnished. Laundry facilities are available in the basement and are paid via card or phone application.

Married students are responsible for monthly rent and electricity. All other utilities are paid for by the seminary. We recommend that students purchase renter’s insurance.

Single students live in dormitories in either the Germack Building or Schmemann Residences (see the Campus Map). Male and female seminarians are housed in separate areas and floors. Each room is supplied with a twin (long) bed, a dresser, a desk and chair, and closet space. Bathroom facilities in each residence hall are shared. Meals for board-paying students are eaten at the campus refectory in the Germack Building.

The seminary provides Wifi campus-wide, and some residences are also equipped with Ethernet 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. If a situation arises that requires such 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.

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. The deposit, minus damages, is refunded when the student vacates their living space. Apartments and dormitory rooms are assigned starting June 15.
