UVU is here to help you find the perfect student housing that fits your unique lifestyle and needs.
Where you live makes a big difference in your college experience. Things like your distance from campus and your roommates impact how you find community and belonging at Utah Valley University. And if you don't know where to start with your housing search, it can be hard to know what to look for.
UVU is here to help you find the perfect student housing that fits your unique lifestyle and needs. Housing and Residence Life supports students with resources, community programs, and tips for finding roommates, selling contracts, and more. Learn more about how to start your housing search and find a place that helps you thrive at UVU.
UVU does not have on-campus student housing. Instead, we focus on building relationships with off-campus housing complexes that provide a meaningful college experience. Many student housing options near UVU’s Orem Campus make it simple and quick to get to class and attend events. Our Student Housing Map can help you find an apartment or home where you want to live.
Student-focused housing complexes often have community leaders to support and engage with students off campus. UVU has partnered with several complexes near campus to help students feel connected to campus through social events and guidance. These community leaders help new Wolverines understand campus life and find the resources they need to thrive.
If you live farther from UVU, you can still get to campus easily. Your UVID card doubles as a free UTA pass, so you can use TRAX, FrontRunner, UVX, and UTA buses to get to and from class. Learn more about transit options on the Campus Connection website.
UVU's Housing and Residence Life department connects Wolverines to student housing options and resources to help you find your perfect home base for campus life. We have resources for whatever you might need, from married or accessible housing options to guides on how to find a roommate or what to pack. Explore our guides, find frequently asked questions, and start your apartment hunt on the Housing Search page.
Housing and Residence Life also supports students who need housing support with easy access to housing laws and policies and information on other resident resources, like the UVU Ombuds for support settling landlord disputes and housing assistance programs through the UVU CARE Hub.
Every Wolverine needs something different from where they live. Think about what you need from your housing and what you can afford, and make a list of your priorities based on your budget. Some things to consider are whether you would prefer a private or shared bedroom, how close to campus you need to be based on transit, and amenities you need, like in-unit laundry or covered parking.
The social life and experience you want might also influence your decision. You may want to live in a housing complex with a strong community that hosts events and activities. Incoming freshmen may consider the Freshman Housing Experience, a structured program that offers support for new students as they transition to college life.
Be sure to visit the Housing and Resident Life website for resources to help with your housing hunt. Our Student Housing Map includes student housing in Orem and Provo, and the Student Housing Guide includes more information about local housing complexes and tips for your search.
When you're ready to start your housing search, online classifieds are a fantastic place to start. UVU has partnered with Find My Place to help you find dedicated student housing. All listings on the platform are verified, and you can easily filter for what matters to you, like the distance from campus, lifestyle, and shared or private rooms.
We want every Wolverine to find the housing they need and to love where they live. If you have questions about finding student housing near UVU or have specific housing needs or concerns, reach out to the Housing and Resident Life office.
