Description
Housing contracts are binding for the academic year and can offer some flexibility for students wishing to switch campuses between semesters. New students must submit housing contracts during enrollment, while current students can participate in the annual room selection process. For those seeking housing accommodations, the Disability Services office is available for support. Certain exemptions from the campus housing requirement exist, including students who commute from home within 30 miles, are aged 23 or older, are married or parents, or are completing off-site internships. Additionally, students who have earned 60 or more credits, or who have lived on campus for four semesters may also qualify for exemptions. For inquiries regarding housing waivers, please reach out to the Residence Life Office. To maintain a conducive living environment, residents must be enrolled full-time—12 credits for undergraduates and 9 for graduates—while maintaining modest academic standards, especially in specialized housing areas. Safety and security protocols, including active Resident Assistant support, ensure every student's wellbeing, while the residence halls provide an environment conducive to both study and social interaction. Our commitment to providing a safe living experience extends to inspections and regular maintenance checks, fostering a clean and secure atmosphere. The university also emphasizes community standards through guest policies and quiet hours, ensuring a respectful and enjoyable environment for everyone. VTSU is dedicated to creating an engaging and supportive residential experience, making campus living a cornerstone of academic and social enrichment. For further information about policies, regulations, or support services, students are encouraged to contact the Residence Life Office directly.

It was pretty bad when I went to school here...30 years ago. Doesn't look like much has changed. Sorry kids.
The combo of Huden 's terrible food and the lack of regular kitchen access in the dorms are two of the biggest reasons I moved off campus. No one wants to live off pizza, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese. Also if you 're vegetarian or vegan you either are forced to buy other food outside of your meal plan or you have to live with the fact that you 'll be eating the exact same rice and quinoa several times a day. You 'd think that if the grill station is serving burgers, the vegetarian section would have veggie burgers or black bean burgers, and you would be wrong. The lack of labels on food is also a nightmare. Sometimes they just serve cookies with bacon in them, and you have no way of knowing until you accidentally eat one and learn to identify them based on appearance. If you ask whether or not there 's meat or nuts (or other allergens) in the food when the signs aren 't up or accurate, often staff will respond negatively, or say they 're pretty sure there isn 't any.
Huden has been serving the same foods weekly since I've started at the university. Half the day the only available food is cookies, ice cream and pizza. Meat is always hideously overcooked and nearly everything is smothered in cheese. I wouldn't mind eating the vegetables if they weren't sauteed to a paste and drenched in soy sauce.
Not as good as it used to be.
