Life Together at APU
Residence Life’s mission is to create spaces and learning opportunities for residential
students to experience life together. Our team strives to ensure that students are
provided with engaging campus housing options, ongoing logistical assistance, and
challenge and support throughout their residential experience at APU. The
Residence Life team
holds the following “Life Together” values as core to the residential experience:
Care
Providing living and learning environments that promote student well-being; and encouraging
students to be respectful, cooperative, supportive, and inclusive of one another.
Challenge
Creating opportunities that encourage students to explore their own beliefs and to
embrace a God-honoring identity, faith, and calling.
Connection
Offering spaces for residential students to build intentional relationships and partnerships
with each other while living and learning together in community.

Close announcement
Living in residence at Azusa Pacific University carries with it distinct privileges
and responsibilities. Students who reside in campus housing benefit from living in
a community with peers, and as a result, take responsibility for caring for one another
in a cooperative and communicative fashion. Through enriching experiences and opportunities,
students make significant connections, and learn to navigate healthy interpersonal
relationships.
Research shows that students living in college residence halls:
Are more involved in areas events.
Interact more frequently with faculty and peers.
Are more likely to graduate.
Are more satisfied with their college experience.
Show greater developmental gains.
Demonstrate greater increases in aesthetic, cultural, and intellectual values.
Residence Life activities are designed to address the physical, emotional, social,
spiritual, intellectual, and vocational needs of residents while supporting their
academic experience at APU. For this reason,
full-time, new students
are expected to live in an APU residence unless they request an exemption. Students
who in the residence halls are required to choose from a variety of dining plans.
