Living Together: The Heart of Student Housing at Institute for GOD
“At Institute for GOD, how many roommates do I get?” “Wait, undergraduates live in actual houses?” Yes, our student housing is always a conversation starter. Right from the start, we’ve chosen a unique path for our dorm living, embracing a household model over the traditional dorm setup. Our undergraduates benefit from a full house, not just a single room, creating an environment that fosters lifelong friendships and practical life skills.
It’s not common that a student gets the opportunity to host in their college dorm. In Institute housing, our students pray, sing, cook, have movie nights, compete in video competitions, and more.
A Closer Look at Our Housing Approach
Our approach goes beyond just providing a place to stay. It’s about creating a vibrant Christian community where students can truly thrive. Living in these houses, students don’t just study and attend classes; they learn valuable life lessons in maintaining a home, from cooking and cleaning to managing finances and navigating interpersonal relationships.

Deep Connections and Real-World Preparation
The experience of living with several roommates in a house offers more than just the chance to make friends. It’s a training ground for the real world, equipping our students with the skills they need for adult life. Alumni often tell us how these early experiences of community living have been instrumental in their personal and professional lives, providing a solid foundation for everything from ministry work to family life.
