Welcome to the Office of Residence Life
Living on campus is a vital part of the college experience, and if you ask anyone who lived on campus during their own college years, you will likely hear ““It shaped my entire college journey.” At Nova Southeastern University, the Office of Residence Life is committed to creating that same sense of belonging, comfort, and connection for you.
Our goal is to make your home-away-from-home safe, inclusive, and enriching, with a living environment that supports academic success, personal growth, and meaningful community engagement. Whether you are a first-year student adjusting to life on campus or a returning student exploring new housing options, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
Together, we will help make your campus living experience unforgettable.
