Department of Resident Life

Welcome we are delighted that you chose to visit our web site. This is a great university that holds the distinction of an institution of the first class among only two other universities in the state of texas and it is just probably the place for you, a place to make new and everlasting friends; grow; develop; and achieve educational goals you have always dreamed about, but never believed you could achieve.

The stresses of university life: Where am I going to live? Is there going to be parking? Will I have room for my Play Station 2 and my 15-foot celebrity poster? Is the food any good? This is a list of questions you will not have to worry about at PVAMU. We hope that the only stress you’ll feel will be about meeting your professors’ expectations. This web site will supply you with the answers you need and the options you want. Applying for housing is a snap, parking is available, shuttle bus service is available, and the food is great. But you’re going to have to ask your roommates about the PS2.

You’ll probably be surprised at the number and variety of housing choices, you have. The university has four student housing communities, including apartments for upper classmen and a living and learning community just for freshmen. You can request 2 or 4 bedroom apartments (upper classmen) and the roommate(s) of your choice.

Living in PVAMU housing offers a chance to build a community, not just to find a place to sleep. There’s always activity brewing in PVAMU residential communities, and there are always roommates and neighbors to talk with, go out with or just hang out with. Residents have the advantage of being close to their classes and all of the extracurricular action on campus. Your fellow residents are going to be from all sorts of places: Houston, Dallas, Detroit, Asia, Africa and California for starters. You’ll find it interesting to live with people whose backgrounds are completely different from yours, but who are facing the same challenges you are. And it may sound cliché, but it’s true: these people with whom you’ll attend lectures, play volleyball, make popcorn, and proof research papers will be your friends for life.

Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy our website.
