WVSU | West Virginia State University

West Virginia State University strongly believes that living on campus contributes to the academic and personal development of the student. To provide for the residence life experience, the University operates three residence halls and an apartment complex. Sullivan Hall is a coeducational residence facility. Dawson Hall provides housing for women. Prillerman Hall has apartments for married couples and/or single parents with children.

Housing Requirements

All unmarried freshmen, sophomores, or juniors who do not commute from the permanent legal residence of a parent guardian, or grandparent, within a fifty mile radius of the campus are required to live in a residence hall. This requirement is waived if the student has:
1. Served two or more years in the U.S. Armed Forces or has completed the reserve obligation
2. Lived in a college residence hall for six semesters
3. Have a disability which makes the University residence halls impractical.
4. Married student, or single parent, or a student 25 years of age prior to admission.
5. Lives within a 50 miles radius and is considered a commuting student.
Part-time students will be allowed to contract for rooms in the residence hall on an availability basis, but preference will be given to full-time students.
