University Village (SUV) Apartments

Rates

The full apartment rate is if you choose to have the full apartment to yourself. The rate with roommate is what you’d pay if you have a roommate.

The main level has a kitchen with a gas stove/oven and a refrigerator. The living area is open to the kitchen. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. 

Most units are unfurnished. There are a few furnished units available that come with a 3 seat couch, armchair, coffee table and TV stand in the living room; a dining table and chairs near the kitchen; and a twin bed, night stand, desk and chair in each bedroom.

University Village is part of the Schilletter and University Apartment Community (SUV). Schilletter Village houses students with families.

Rent and Utilities

Our rates are listed per apartment. If you choose to live in an apartment by yourself and don’t want a roommate, you’ll pay the full amount. If you have a roommate, your share of rent will be half of what’s listed. Rent is billed to your Ubill at the beginning of each semester.

*Beginning for Fall 2024, UV apartments do not have the option to be rented as private.

All utilities are included except gas. Gas is billed to the residents U-bill separately each month. Included utilities are: electricity, water, garbage service and DSL internet. If you want wireless internet in your apartment, you will need to bring your own router.

Internet

MetroNet is the internet service provider in SUV. Expect speeds up to 1 gigabit. You’ll need to bring a wireless router and connect it if you want wireless internet in your apartment. For more information, click here.

Pets

Pets are allowed in specific University Village Apartments! Pet apartment residents pay the pet rate even if they don’t own a pet. If a roommate leaves a shared pet apartment, the apartment will become private until the roommate who stayed finds a new roommate (meaning the remaining roommate pays the full amount). Review our pet policy.

Buildings 121 through 125 and 145 through 163 are pet friendly. All other apartments do not allow pets (other than fish).

*Beginning for Fall 2024, pet-friendly UV apartments will no longer automatically be private.
