Living on Campus

A thriving community of believers your own age—look forward to one of the most important and exciting aspects of BJU.

You’ve probably heard a funny story that started with “I had this roommate in college …” Now, it’s your turn to have roommates and to be a roommate. And let’s be honest: the relationships you form in college can impact you far greater than a project, test or paper ever will. So, come ready to learn and to give. Have reasonable expectations, and know you have a unity through Christ (Ephesians 4:2-7).

Residence hall life can be a profitable time of faith-building and fellowship with other believers. Your room will be joined with 2 or 3 other rooms to form a prayer group. Five nights a week, your prayer group will meet for a time of prayer-focused worship. The other nights, you and your roommates will have a time of prayer.

Don’t worry about living out of a suitcase. Your room will have lots of drawer space, closets and overhead bins for more storage. You’ll also find desks for your computer and shelves for textbooks. There are 5 residence halls for women and 5 for men. All residence halls are equipped with a prayer room, study lounge and vending room. Two men’s residence halls and all the women’s residence halls have laundry rooms. In addition, 3 residence halls have music rooms with pianos for practicing voice and instruments.

If you have questions about anything, you will find a supervisor and counselors in each residence hall. They care and are there to help and to offer friendship and spiritual counseling at any time.
