Message from the Coordinator for Off-Campus Student Life
Welcome to Off-Campus Student Life!
At Old Dominion University, we understand that your living environment plays an
important role in your success as a student. The Off-Campus Student Life Office was
created as an initiative by the Dean of Students' Office to provide a central location
for off-campus students to get guidance, support, and resources for their off-campus
experience.
The Off-Campus Student Life Office connects students to several resources, including:
•Easily navigable web page with property listings from local landlords
•Off-Campus Housing Fair
•Assistance with finding off-campus roommates, including regular roommate fairs
•FREE safety alarms and light bulbs
•Programming about renters’ rights and responsibilities and off-campus behavior
•City of Norfolk tenant resources, including assistance with resolving issues with landlords
•Information about the Party Smart initiative, a program designed to help students host
responsible social gatherings
In addition to providing resources and being an advocate for off-campus students,
the office staff works collaboratively with the neighborhoods surrounding Old
Dominion University and the city of Norfolk on livability issues.
We hope that this guide will provide you some great resources and tips to begin
your housing search and help you make the most of your off-campus experience.
Sincerely,
Abby Kindervater
